When in doubt,I read
The words of the Lady feeds me
like the warm fresh bread
that satiates like no other
In the morning,
before the sun rises, I read
The words of the Lady comforts me
Her words written in a different time and place
but the message is the same
In my youth, nobody asked me to read
but I was drawn to the words
written by a Lady
250 years ago a lady wrote books, that we still read today
Here are some of the quotes written by a Lady:
" Wisdom is better than wit, and in the long run will certainly have the laugh on her side,"
- Letters
" A person may be proud without being vain.
Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves;
Vanity ,to what we would have others think of us"
-Pride and Prejudice (1813)
" If we not have hearts, we have eyes, and they give us torment enough"
-Northhanger Abbey _1817)
"I'd rather be with a book"
"Indulge your imagination in every possible light"
- Letters
" If the heroine of one novel be not patronized by the
heroine of another,
from whom can she expect protection or regard?
-Northanger Abbey (1817)
"I think I may boast myself to be,
with all possible vanity,
the most unlearned and uninformed
female who ever dared
to be an
Authoress.
-Letters
"We are sent into this world to be as extensively useful as possible,
and where some degree of strength of mind is given,
it is not a feeble body which will excuse us- or incline us to excuse ourselves.
Sandition (1817)
"an interval of meditation,
serious and grateful,
was the best corrective
of everything dangerous"
-Persuasion (1817)
" Mary wished to say something
very sensible,
but knew not how."
Pride and Prejudice ( 1813)
"Every moment has its pleasures and its hope"
Mansfield Park (1814)
" You have another long walk before you."
Emma (1815)
