“ I'm very fond of experimental housekeeping. ”
There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.
~ Jane Austen
A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.
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.
The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!
