Quotes (some are so true to me)
Where so many hours have been spent in convincing myself that I am right, is there not some reason to fear I may be wrong?
I do not want people to be agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them.
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
Find out which Jane Austen Heroine you are.
I am so an Elinor Dashwood in public, shy and reserved but when you get to know me or I am at home with my family I am more of a Lizzie Bennett I think, very opinionated and self assertive.
I have been hooked on Jane Austen the last couple of days for some reason probably because I have lost my copy of the Pride and Prejudice DVD and It is my favorite movie of all time, it calms me down when I am upset or stressed. I also read her novels when I am in the same condition, they transcend me back to her time.
Ok enough about Jane today lets move on.
