“Oh! I always deserve the best treatment, because I never put up with any other.” - Emma Woodhouse

❝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.❞

“Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.” -Jane Austen (Pride and Prejudice)
