I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like

Do not consider me now as an elegant female intending to plague you, but as a rational creature speaking the truth from her heart.

Silly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way.

My idea of good company is the company of clever, well-informed people who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company.

Good-humoured, unaffected girls, will not do for a man who has been used to sensible women. They are two distinct orders of being.

If I could but know his heart, everything would become easy.

A person who is knowingly bent on bad behavior, gets upset when better behavior is expected of them.
