I cannot think well of a man who sports with any woman's feelings; and there may often be a great deal more suffered than a stander-by can judge of.

Nobody minds having what is too good for them.

I had a very pleasant evening, however, though you will probably find out that there was no particular reason for it; but I do not think it worthwhile to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.

With women, the heart argues, not the mind.

The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.

I could not be happy with a man whose taste did not in every point coincide with my own. He must enter in all my feelings; the same books, the same music must charm us both.

There are certainly not so many men of large fortune in the world, as there are pretty women to deserve them.
