Many thanks to Patricia Ann Schaack Garcia for inviting me to participate in the Book Quote Challenge.
It is a great honor for me to follow in her foot steps. And that won’t be an easy task. But I’ll do my best.
I have to present three quotes per day by an author of my choice for three consecutive days. My quotes for today have been picked from Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice”.
**
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”
**
“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.”
**
“I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.”
**
I’m sure, I don’t need to explain why they impressed me so much or who said what… These quotes are legendary – and they’re kind of burned into my memory.
Thank you Jane Austen for this wonderful story!
