Calleigh's Emma Quotes

Here are some of my favourite quotes from Emma; my favourite Jane Austen novel. :)


"Doing just what she liked; highly esteeming Miss Taylor's judgments, but directed chiefly by her own."


Mr. Knightley, in fact, was one of the few people who could see faults in Emma Woodhouse, and the only one who ever told her of them...."


"What is right to be done cannot be done too soon."
 
“It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should ever refuse an offer of marriage. A man always imagines a woman to be ready for anybody who asks her.”
"Surprizes are foolish things. The pleasure is not enhanced, and the inconvenience is often considerable."

"It darted through her with the speed of an arrow that Mr. Knightley must marry no one but herself!"
If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. But you know what I am. —You hear nothing but truth from me."
~ Calleigh
