Quote by Jane Austen

“Da parte sua, Charlotte era piuttosto tranquilla. Aveva raggiunto il suo scopo e aveva tempo di riflettere. Nel complesso era soddisfatta. Di sicuro, il signor Collins non era né intelligente né piacevole: la sua compagnia era noiosa e il suo attaccamento a lei doveva essere immaginario. Ma sarebbe stato comunque suo marito. Pur non avendo mai avuto un'opinione troppo alta né degli uomini né del matrimonio, aveva però sempre mirato a sposarsi: era l'unica sistemazione dignitosa per una ragazza di buona famiglia ma di scarsi mezzi; e, anche se non era certo che desse la felicità, era la soluzione migliore per mettersi al riparo dalla povertà.”
