Best Pride and Prejudice Quotes
In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.
I am the happiest creature in the world. Perhaps other people have said so before, but not one with such justice. I am happier even than Jane; she only smiles, I laugh.
Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies do divert me, I own, and I laugh at them whenever I can.
Have a little compassion on my nerves. You tear them to pieces.
I think we all know that the Jane Austen love fest will NEVER DIE. Happy 200th Anniversary to one of my favorite stories of all time, Pride and Prejudice!!
