Logic! Good gracious! What rubbish!

Are not beauty and delicacy the same?

Ideas are fatal to caste.

I cannot help thinking that there is something to admire in everyone, even if you do not approve of them.

I am a Jane Austenite, and therefore slightly imbecile about Jane Austen. My fatuous expression, and airs of personal immunity-how ill they sit on the face, say,of a Stevensonian! But Jane Austen is so different. She is my favourite author! I read and reread, the mouth open and the mind closed. Shut up in measureless content, I greet her by the name of most kind hostess, while criticism slumbers.

What the world most needs today are negative virtues - not minding people, not being huffy, touchy, irritable or revengeful.

Without form, the sensitiveness vanishes.
