The best version of That Novel I ever saw was when my friend Steve burned his copy.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."

"I must learn to be content with being happier than I deserve."

"A girl likes to be crossed a little in love now and then.
It is something to think of"

"He is a gentleman, and I am a gentleman's daughter. So far we are equal."

"A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment."

Gad! Vacuous indeed! Worse in some ways than Dickens! But then, there's always "Northanger Abbey." And the "Confessional of the Black Penitents"!!
