Narrations of Notability

Below are my favorite quotes from Northanger Abbey. :)


"Catherine wished to congratulate him, but knew not what to say, and her eloquence was only in her eyes. From them however the eight parts of speech shone out most expressively, and James could combine them with ease."


"But when a young lady is to be a heroine, the perverseness of forty surrounding families cannot prevent her. Something must and will happen to throw a hero in her way."


"The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid."
