“One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.”

“That is the case with us all, papa. One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.”

“…one half of her should not be always so much wiser than the other half…”

“I do regard her as one who is too modest for the world in general to be aware of half her accomplishments, and too highly accomplished for modesty to be natural of any other woman.”

“One cannot creep upon a journey; one cannot help getting on faster than one has planned: and the pleasure of coming in upon one's friends before the look-out begins is worth a great deal more than any little exertion it needs.”

“I have not the pleasure of understanding you.”

“Our pleasures in this world are always to be paid for.”
