Quoting Love

"To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love."

- Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen

"I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives."

- Persuasion, Jane Austen

"I may have lost my heart, but not my self-control."

- Emma, Jane Austen

"I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun."

- Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen

"For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days could I have read your feelings as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others."

- Persuasion, Jane Austen

"The very first moment I beheld him, my heart was irrevocably gone."

- Love and Friendship, Jane Austen

"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."

- Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen

"Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape."

- Great Expectations, Charles Dickens

"I wish I could care what you do or where you go but I can’t..My dear, I don’t give a damn."

- Gone With the Wind, Margaret Mitchell
