“I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in F. W.

I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be enough to decide whether I enter your father's house this evening or never.”

“I have faults enough, but they are not, I hope, of understanding. My temper I dare not vouch for. It is, I believe, too little yielding— certainly too little for the convenience of the world. I cannot forget the follies and vices of other so soon as I ought, nor their offenses against myself. My feelings are not puffed about with every attempt to move them. My temper would perhaps be called resentful. My good opinion once lost, is lost forever.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”

“من أعجب الأشياء أن تعرف الله ثم لا تحبه, وأن تسمع داعيه ثم تتأخر عن الإجابة, وأن تعرف قدر الربح في معاملته، ثم تعامل غيره, وأن تعرف قدر غضبه ثم تتعرض له, وأن تذوق ألم الوحشة في معصيته، ثم لا تطلب الأنس بطاعته, وأن تذوق عصرة القلب عند الخوض في غير حديثه والحديث عنه، ثم لا تشتاق إلى انشراح الصدر بذكره ومناجاته, وأن تذوق العذاب عند تعلق القلب بغيره ولا تهرب منه إلى نعيم الإقبال عليه، والإنابة إليه, وأعجب من هذا علمك أنك لابد لك منه وأنك أحوج شيء إليه، وأنت عنه معرض وفيما يبعدك عنه راغب”
― ابن قيم الجوزية, الفوائد

“لا تنتقد خجلي الشديد فإنني
بسيطة جداً.. وأنت خبير
يا سيد الكلمات هب لي فرصةً
حتى يذاكر درسه العصفور
خذني بكل بساطتي وطفولتي
أنا لم أزل أحبو وأنت قدير
من أين تأتي بالفصاحة كلها
وأنا يتوه على فمي التعبير؟
أنا في الهوى لا حول لي أو قوة
إن المحب بطبعه مكسور”
― سعاد محمد الصباح

ملكوتها الأعلى بذنب واحد ”
