“Let us never underestimate the power of a well-written letter.”
― Jane Austen, Persuasion

“I’m not like Evangeline. I haven’t been looking for love around every corner. I haven’t felt like something was missing or I wasn’t whole simply because I didn’t have a man in my life. While I believe in love and marriage and have wanted both, my life hasn’t been on hold, waiting to start until the time when I could share it with one specific person. Instead, I like to think I’ve been sharing it with everyone around me. That I’ve found fulfillment in myself, and because of that, I have more now to give because of my own contentment.”
― Sarah Monzon, Bookmarked for Love

“You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“I am not an angel,' I asserted; 'and I will not be one till I die: I will be myself. Mr. Rochester, you must neither expect nor exact anything celestial of me - for you will not get it, any more than I shall get it of you: which I do not at all anticipate.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
