pride & prejudice

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.

Austen Kitty. 

there are few people whom i really love, and still fewer of whom i think well. the more i see of the world, the more am i dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.

I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.

There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises with every attempt to intimidate me.

Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen, 1813)

Pride & Prejudice (2005)

I could more easily forgive his vanity had he not wounded mine.

“you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.” 

So soon?
