A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.

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

There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.

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.

The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!

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.

You are mistaken, Mr. Darcy, if you suppose that the mode of your declaration affected me in any other way, than as it spared the concern which I might have felt in refusing you, had you behaved in a more gentlemanlike manner." (Elizabeth Bennett)

To wish was to hope, and to hope was to expect

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