Novelist quotes
" Not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition for our existence. "

Sholem Asch
" Of all afflictions, the worst is self-contempt. "

Berthold Auerbach
" Only he is free who cultivates his own thoughts, and strives without fear to do justice to them. "

Berthold Auerbach
" I do not want people to be agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them. "

Jane Austen
" To sit in the shade on a fine day, and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment. "

Jane Austen
" Where so many hours have been spent in convincing myself that I am right, is there not some reason to fear I may be wrong? "

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

Jane Austen
" A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of. "

Jane Austen
" Everybody likes to go their own way--to choose their own time and manner of devotion. "

Jane Austen
" I cannot think well of a man who sports with any woman's feelings; and there may often be a great deal more suffered than a stander-by can judge of. "

Jane Austen
" I pay very little regard...to what any young person says on the subject of marriage. If they profess a disinclination for it, I only set it down that they have not yet seen the right person. "

Jane Austen
" If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out. "

Jane Austen
" It will, I believe, be everywhere found, that as the clergy are, or are not what they ought to be, so are the rest of the nation. "

Jane Austen
" Nothing amuses me more than the easy manner with which everybody settles the abundance of those who have a great deal less than themselves. "

Jane Austen
" Oh! Do not attack me with your watch. A watch is always too fast or too slow. I cannot be dictated to by a watch. "

Jane Austen
