Jane Austen writes about these humdrum lives with such empathy that they seem endlessly fascinating (Jane Austen Quotes)
Jane Austen has often been praised as a natural historian. She is a naturalist among tame animals. She does not study men (as Dostoevsky does) in his wild state before he has been domesticated. Her men and women are essentially men and women of the fireside (Jane Austen Quotes)
Jane Austen wrote six of the most beloved novels in the English language, we are informed at the end of Becoming Jane, and so she did. The key word is beloved. Her admirers do not analyze her books so much as they just plain love them to pieces (Jane Austen Quotes)
The post-office is a wonderful establishment! The regularity and dispatch of it! If one thinks of all that it has to do, and all that it does so well, it is really astonishing! (Jane Austen Quotes)

The difficulty with poetry is that it doesn’t have the life that Shakespeare or Jane Austen have beyond the page. You can’t make a costume drama out of it. There’s no place for it to go except trapped inside its little book (Jane Austen Quotes)
One man’s ways may be as good as another’s, but we all like our own best (Jane Austen Quotes)
No man is offended by another man’s admiration of the woman he loves; it is the woman only who can make it a torment. (Jane Austen Quotes)
It is very well worthwhile to be tormented for two or three years of one’s life, for the sake of being able to read all the rest of it. (Jane Austen Quotes)
