"There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense."  

"An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents. – Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do." - Mr. Bennet

"Angry people are not always wise."

"I have not the pleasure of understanding you," said he, when she had finished her speech.

"I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine."

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

"To be fond of dancing, was a certain step towards falling in love." 

"We all know him to be a proud, unpleasant sort of man; but this would be nothing if you really liked him." 

"Till this moment I never knew myself." 

"There is, I believe, in every disposition a tendency to some particular evil, a natural defect, which not even the best education can overcome."  "And your defect is a propensity to hate every body.''  "And yours,'' he replied with a smile, "is willfully to misunderstand them.''

"She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me; I am in no humor at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men." - Mr Darcy to Mr. Bingley about Elizabeth Bennet.

"You have bewitched me, body and soul." 

"But people themselves alter so much, that there is something new to be observed in them for ever."

"How little of permanent happiness could belong to a couple who were only brought together, because their passions were stronger than their virtue." 

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

"Only the deepest love will persuade me into matrimony." 

"My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on."
