Quote by Jane Austen

“Son muy pocas las personas a las que quiero de verdad, y de pocos tengo buen concepto. Cuanto más conozco el mundo, menos me gusta; y cada día estoy más convencida de la inconstancia del carácter humano, y de lo poco fiable que es la apariencia de valía o de buen juicio".”

“فتحت عينيها و نظرت الي اطراف اصابعها : كانت مبللة ، مبللة بالدم . حمراء من الدم . وضعت يدها امام وجه الرجل الغائب "انظر !هذا دمي دائما ،نظيف . بين دم حيضي و الدم النظيف ، مالفرق ؟ ماهو الشئ المقزز في هذا الدم ؟" . تنزل يدها لتصبح علي مقربة من انف الرجل "لقد ولدت من هذا الدم ! انه أنظف من الدم الذي يسري في عروقك !”

“It's only to be expected,' said Mr. Cardan comfortingly. 'Anyone who has anything to say can't fail to be misunderstood.The public only understands the things with which it is perfectly familiar.Something new makes it lose its orientation.And then think of the misunderstandings between even intelligent people, people who know one another personally.'..............Then you must know how easy it is for your correspondent to take the expression of one of your passing moods -forgotten long before the arrival of the letter at its destination - as your permanent spiritual condition.”

“It's always the same with relationships: As if they were a fancy sheepskin jacket, you get yourself one to stay warm on cold winter nights and show it off a bit. At first, it fits you perfectly until suddenly it becomes too loose, too tight, too long, too wide and from then on you don't look after it anymore. You stop taking care of it, throw up all over it on the next binge, and when you wake up in the morning the whole house smells of wet sheep and stomach acid. That's how, sooner rather than later, it ends up in the old clothes container and even though you promise yourself that next time you'll buy the expensive care product that the saleswoman with the fake smile has tried to sell you, you still won't do it, because it sounds like effort and who would put any into something they'll end up losing anyway?”
