You know what I think? Fate! That's what it is fate! There's a thing that comes after a fellow:got a name,but I forgot what it is. Creeps up behind him, and puts him in the basket when he ain't expecting it.

There is nothing so mortifying as to fall in love with someone who does not share one's sentiments.

Oh, 'tis not my qualities they object to! 'Tis my lack of vice.

You are an atrocious person! Since the day I met you I have become steadily more depraved.

People who start a sentence with personally (and they're always women) ought to be thrown to the lions. It's a repulsive habit.

Only trust me! You have fallen into a fit of despondency and there is not the least need! In fact, nothing could be more fatal, in any predicament! It encourages one to suppose that there is nothing to be done, when a little resolution is all that is wanted to bring matters to a happy conclusion.
