A very Jane Austen Christmas.

Dec 20, 2011

  Jane Austen.
I love.
I think it would be magnificent to have a Jane Austen-esque Christmas.
(I did make that term up)

& here are some wonderful Jane Austen quotes.
Hope they make you feel cheery.
Or amused at the least.

A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of.
---
 I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.
---
 It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
---
 It is happy for you that you possess the talent of flattering with delicacy. May I ask whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the moment, or are they the result of previous study?
