“I can never be important to any one.'
'What is to prevent you?'
'Every thing — my situation — my foolishness and awkwardness.”
― Jane Austen, Mansfield Park

“Why do we marry, why take friends and lovers? Why give ourselves to music, painting, chemistry or cooking? Out of simple delight in the resident goodness of creation, of course; but out of more than that, too. Half earth's gorgeousness lies hidden in the glimpsed city it longs to become.”
― Robert Farrar Capon, The Supper of the Lamb: A Culinary Reflection

“The day-to-day exhausted me!”
― Ludwig van Beethoven

“Human nature needs more lessons than a weekly sermon can convey.”
― Jane Austen, Mansfield Park
