Jane Austen Quote

Egotist: A person of low taste, more interested in himself than in me

I have been a selfish being all my life, in practice, though not in principle

Nobody can tell what I suffer! But it is always so. Those who do not complain are never pitied.

Pleasure must succeed to pleasure, else past pleasure turns to pain

My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains, my sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk

I consider looseness with words no less of a defect than looseness of the bowels
