― Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

“Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.”

“Certainly silly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way. Wickedness is always wickedness, but folly is not always folly. It depends upon the character of those who handle it.”
― Jane Austen, Emma

“Before you, my life was a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars - points of light and reason... and then you shot across the sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire. There was brilliancy, there was beauty. Now you are gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing has changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything.”
― Stephenie Meyer, New Moon
