Quote by Jane Austen

“Mrs. Bennet deigned not to make any reply, but, unable to contain herself, began scolding one of her daughters. "Don't keep coughing so, Kitty, for Heaven's sake! Have a little compassion on my nerves. You tear them to pieces." "Kitty has no discretion in her coughs," said her father; "she times them ill." "I do not cough for my own amusement," replied Kitty fretfully.”

“Ona ništa ne radi, i sasvim je zadovoljna." Ljevin je to u duši osuđivao; a još nije poimao da se ona baš sprema za period rada koji za nju mora nastupiti, kada će istovremeno biti i žena svoga muža, i domaćica u kući, i kada će nositi, hraniti i vaspitavati decu. On nije poimao da ona to zna čulom, i spremajući se za taj strašni posao ne ukorava sebe za trenutke bezbrižnosti i ljubavne sreće kojima se sada veselo koristi dok svija svoje buduće gnezdo.”
