You may only call me "Mrs. Darcy"... when you are completely, and perfectly, and incandescently happy.

Give a girl an education and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without further expense to anybody.

Without music, life would be a blank to me.

I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness.

There are few people whom I really love and still fewer of whom I think well.
