Where shall we see a better daughter, or a kinder sister, or a truer friend?

I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.

She had nothing to wish otherwise, but that the days did not pass so swiftly. It was a delightful visit;-perfect, in being much too short.

Every moment had its pleasure and its hope.

Sometimes the last person on earth you want to be with is the one person you can't be without.

Perhaps it is our imperfections that make us so perfect for one another.

At my time of life opinions are tolerably fixed. It is not likely that I should now see or hear anything to change them.
