“Undoubtedly,” replied Darcy, to whom this remark was chiefly addressed, “there is a meanness in all the arts which ladies sometimes condescend to employ for captivation. Whatever bears affinity to cunning is despicable.”

5. What an agreeable man Sir William is, Mr. Bingley, is not he
What an agreeable man Sir William is, Mr. Bingley, is not he? So much the man of fashion! So genteel and easy! He has always something to say to everybody. That is my idea of good breeding; and those persons who fancy themselves very important, and never open their mouths, quite mistake the matter.”
Mrs. Bennet regarding getting an introduction to Mr. Bingley:“I do not believe Mrs. Long will do any such thing. She has two nieces of her own. She is a selfish, hypocritical woman, and I have no opinion of her.”

“I (Elizabeth Bennet) wonder who first discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love!”
“I have been used to consider poetry as the food of love,” said Darcy.
“Of a fine, stout, healthy love it may. Everything nourishes what is strong already. But if it be only a slight, thin sort of inclination, I am convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away.”

7. Mrs. Bennet: “I do think Mrs
Mrs. Bennet: “I do think Mrs. Long is as good a creature as ever lived— and her nieces are very pretty behaved girls, and not at all handsome: I like them prodigiously.”
Lady Catherine: “Of music! Then pray speak aloud. It is of all subjects my delight. I must have my share in the conversation if you are speaking of music. There are few people in England, I suppose, who have more true enjoyment of music than myself, or a better natural taste. If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great proficient. And so would Anne, if her health had allowed her to apply. I am confident that she would have performed delightfully.”

8. “Nobody can tell what I suffer. But it is always so
“Nobody can tell what I suffer! But it is always so. Those who do not complain are never pitied.” Mrs. Bennet
Without thinking highly either of men or of matrimony, marriage had always been her object; it was the only honourable provision for well- educated young women of small fortune, and however uncertain of giving happiness, must be their pleasantest preservative from want.
