― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

“Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings.”
― Jane Austen, Mansfield Park

“I came to the conclusion, Marilla, that I wasn't born for city life and that I was glad of it. It's nice to be eating ice cream at brilliant restaurants at eleven o'clock at night once in a while; but as a regular thing I'd rather be in east gable at eleven, sound asleep, but kind of knowing even in my sleep that the stars were shining outside and the wind was blowing in the firs across the brook.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

“One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.”
― Jane Austen, Emma
