Fanny Quotes

“Her heart was made for love and kindness, not for resentment.”
― Jane Austen, Mansfield Park

“Too soon did she find herself at the drawing room door.

"What is it? Moths in the furs, a smokey chimney, or small-pox next door?" asked Polly as they entered Fan's room, where Maud was trying on old bonnets before the looking glass.
"Actually I have nothing to wear," began Fan impressively.”
― Louisa May Alcott, An Old Fashioned Girl

“Her sentiments towards him were compounded of all that was respectful, grateful, confiding, and tender.”
― Jane Austen, Mansfield Park
