"Why do you like Jane Austen so very much? I am puzzled on that point.... I had not seen Pride and Prejudice till I read that sentence of yours,and then I got the book. And what did I find? ...a commonplace face; a
carefully fenced, highly cultivated garden, with neat borders anddelicate flowers; but no glance of a bright vivid physiognomy, no opencountry, no fresh air, no blue hill, no bonny beck. ... These observationswill probably irritate you, but I shall run the risk.""Now I can understand admiration of George Sand ... she had a grasp ofmind which, if I cannot fully comprehend, I can very deeply respect: she
is sagacious and profound; Miss Austen is only shrewd and observant.
She makes me detest all her people, without reserve.
Jane Austen? Why I go so far as to say that any library is a good librarythat does not contain a volume by Jane Austen. Even if it contains no
other book.

I lay on my stomach, cros sing my ankles in the air, f l ipping
through the di f ferent nov els in the book , try ing to decide
which w ould occup y m y m ind most thorough ly . My favor i tes
were Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. Id read
the f i rst mos t recent ly, so I started into Sense and
Sens ibi l i ty, only to remember after I began chapter three that
the hero of the story happened to be named Edward. An gr i ly,
I turned to Mans f ield Park, bu t the hero of th at piece was
named Edmund, and that was just too close. Werent thereany other names available in the late eighteenth century?
(Bella, from
Twilight
by
Stephenie
Meyer).

"I could not sit down to write a serious romance under any other
motive than to save my life.
"...an artist cannot do anything slovenly."-- Jane Austen, letter of November 17, 1798
[On being told that Fanny Knight was reading her letters to
Cassandra:]"I am gratified by her having pleasure in what I write -- but I wishthe knowledge of my being exposed to her discerning Criticismmay not hurt my stile, by inducing too great a solicitude. I beginalready to weigh my words and sentences more than I did, andam looking about for a sentiment, an illustration, or a metaphor in
every corner of the room. Could my Ideas flow as fast as the rainin the store-closet it would be charming."-- letter of January 24, 1809
