Quote-ables

"I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half in agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own, than when you broke it eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant."

~Captain Wentworth's letter to Anne Elliot

Persuasion, Jane Austen

This is my favorite line from my favorite Jane Austen.

Just thought I'd share.

Guys! Emma!

Aren't you excited? PBS does such a good job at Jane Austen. I am so in love with the Northanger Abbey that they did (sweetest kiss ever!) And because I love Romola Garai, Emma promises to be blissful! Wheee!!!
