“The world may know my words, but it has no such privileges with my heart”

“I may have lost my heart, but not my self-control. ”

“I wish with all my soul his wife may plague his heart out.”

“If I may, so long as the woman you love lives, and lives for you, all the privilege I claim for my own sex, and it is not a very enviable one - you need not covet it, is that of loving longest when all hope is gone.”

“Well, my comfort is, I am sure Jane will die of a broken heart, and then he will be sorry for what he has done.”

“Every young lady may feel for my heroine in this critical moment, for every young lady has at some time or other known the same agitation.”

“All the privilege I claim for my own sex (it is not a very enviable one: you need not covet it), is that of loving longest, when existence or when hope is gone!”
