“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." ~ Jane Austin.

Arguably one of the best opening lines in literary history (I said ARGUABLY doesn't mean I want to argue). However, to make it a modern retelling it would have to read:

― Brandy Potter

“The watershed of the sexual revolution was when women started to become individuals who claimed they were different in no essential way from men.”
― Dianna Anderson, Damaged Goods: New Perspectives on Christian Purity
