tia19 's review for:

Pride and Predujice. by Jane Austen
5.0

“I believe you thought her rather pretty at one time”
“Yes,” replied Mr Darcy, “But that was only when I first met her, for it is many months since I have considered her as one of the handsomest women of my acquaintance”

“In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you”

“I thought only of you”

“If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever”

“as a man violently in love”

“It taught me to hope,” said he, “as I had scarcely ever allowed myself to hope before”

“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”

“You might have talked to me more when you came to dinner”
“A man who had felt less, might”

“My real purpose was to see you, and to judge, if I could whether I might ever hope to make you love me”
