“A beauty is a woman you notice; a charmer is one who notices you.”

“Have you ever noticed that there are people who do things which are most indelicate, and yet at the same time - beautiful?”

“...have you ever noticed how the one who wants to please never does?”

“Bathsheba looked at Benedict. "You never told me they were matchmaking.""He didn't notice!" said his father before Benedict could answer. "He didn't notice handsome young misses of unexceptionable family. He didn't notice beautiful heiresses. We tried bluestockings. We tried country girls. We tried everything. He didn't notice! But Bathsheba Winngate, the most notorious woman in all of England, he noticed.""We notorious women tend to stand out," she said.”

“She was beautiful, in the quiet way that lonely, unnoticed people are beautiful to those who notice them.”

“That's what happens when you love someone... you notice and notice and notice.”
