I do suspect that he is not really necessary to my happiness.

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

You must learn some of my philosophy. Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure.

You men have none of you any hearts.' 'If we have not hearts, we have eyes; and they give us torment enough.

To be so bent on Marriage - to pursue a man merely for the sake of situation - is a sort of thing that shocks me; I cannot understand it. Poverty is a great Evil, but to a woman of Education and feeling it ought not, it cannot be the greatest. I would rather be a teacher at a school (and I can think of nothing worse) than marry a man I did not like.

My sore throats are always worse than anyone's.

I have changed my mind, and changed the trimmings of my cap this morning; they are now such as you suggested.
