Oh, Lizzy! do anything rather than marry without affection.

From the very beginning— from the first moment, I may almost say— of my acquaintance with you, your manners, impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form the groundwork of disapprobation on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry.

From all that I can collect by your manner of talking, you must be two of the silliest girls in the country. I have suspected it some time, but I am now convinced.

But indeed I would rather have nothing but tea.

A persuadable temper might sometimes be as much in favour of happiness as a very resolute character.

Indulge your imagination in every possible flight.

For what do we live, but to make sport by subjecting our neighbors to endless discretionary review for minor additions?
