Geburtstag von Jane Austen (1775 - 1817)
"If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more."
Aus einem Brief:
"I will not say that your mulberry-trees are dead, but I am afraid they are not alive."
"My idea of good company is the company of clever, well-informed people who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company."
"Why not seize the pleasure at once? How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation."
"If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory."
