A few of my favorite Austen quotes:
Nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast.
Woe to the crappy clergymen:
It will, I believe, be everywhere found, that as the clergy are, or are not what they ought to be, so are the rest of the nation.
The writer's delight:
Let other pens dwell on guilt and misery.
The arrogance of men:
It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should ever refuse an offer of marriage. A man always imagines a woman to be ready for anybody who asks her.
There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.
To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love.

I remember that first quote from my recent first readin' of Pride and Prejudice. That's jaw dropping insight.
I think we resemble that dancing remark.
