Emma

"The real evils, indeed, of Emma's situation were the power of having rather too much her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself"

"I made the match myself. I made the match, you know, four years ago; and to have it take place, and be proved in the right, when so many people said Mr. Weston would never marry again, may comfort me for any thing"

"It was an unsuitable connexion, and did not produce much happiness."

"Mrs. Weston ought to have found more in it, for she had a husband whose warm heart and sweet temper made him think every thing due to her in return for the great goodness of being in love with him;"

"And yet she was a happy woman, and a woman whom no one named without good-will."

"She was not struck by any thing remarkably clever in Miss Smith’s conversation, but she found her altogether very engaging—not inconveniently shy, not unwilling to talk—and yet so far from pushing, shewing so proper and becoming a deference, seeming so pleasantly grateful for being admitted to Hartfield"

"Harriet would be loved as one to whom she could be useful. For Mrs. Weston there was nothing to be done; for Harriet every thing."

"The yeomanry are precisely the order of people with whom I feel I can have nothing to do."

"I think they will neither of them do the other any good."

"Her ignorance is hourly flattery."

"She was quite convinced of Mr. Elton’s being in the fairest way of falling in love, if not in love already."

"But for Harriet’s sake, or rather for my own, and as there are no husbands and wives in the case _at_ _present_, I will break my resolution now."
