Pride and prejudice famous sayings

Here are some famous sayings from "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen:

1. "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."

2. "I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library."

3. "You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."

4. "A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment."

5. "I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine."

6. "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."

7. "I am not romantic, you know; I never was. I ask only a comfortable home; and considering Mr. Collins's character, connection, and situation in life, I am convinced that my chance of happiness with him is as fair as most people can boast on entering the marriage state."

8. "There is, I believe, in every disposition a tendency to some particular evil, a natural defect, which not even the best education can overcome."

9. "Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."

10. "I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun."
