Quotes from Pride and Predjudice

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

"For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?"
Mr. Bennet

"They walked on, without knowing in what direction. There was too much to be thought, and felt, and said, for attention to any other objects".

"She is tolerable, I suppose, but not handsome enough to tempt me; I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men. You had better return to your partner and enjoy her smiles, for you are wasting your time with me." Mr Darcy

"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." Mary Bennet

"I have been meditating on the very great pleasure which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow." Mr. Darcy

"Nothing is more deceitful," said Darcy, "than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast."

"My good opinion once lost, is lost forever." Mr. Darcy

Mr. Wickham is blessed with such happy manners as may ensure his making friends � whether he may be equally capable of retaining them, is less certain." Mr. Darcy

"An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do." Mr. Bennet

"Do not be afraid of my running into any excess, of my encroaching on your privilege of universal good will. You need not. There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of either merit or sense."
" Elizabeth Bennet

"I certainly have not the talent which some people possess," said Darcy, "of conversing easily with those I have never seen before. I cannot catch their tone of conversation, or appear interested in their concerns, as I often see done."
"My fingers," said Elizabeth, "do not move over this instrument in the masterly manner which I see so many women's do. They have not the same force or rapidity, and do not preoduce the same expression. But then I have always supposed it to be my own fault - because I would not take the trouble of practising."

"He is as fine a fellow," said Mr. Bennet, as soon as they were out of the house, "as ever I saw. He simpers, and smirks, and makes love to us all. I am prodigiously proud of him. I defy even Sir William Lucas himself, to produce a more valuable son-in-law."

"You mistake me my dear I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least." Mr. Bennet
