Jane Quotes

I imagined being a famous writer would be like being like Jane Austen Picture Quote #1

What I’d love to do would be to bring a person from the past to me. In that case I’d pick Jane Austen, because I’d like to know what really made her tick. It’s my opinion that she was inhibited by her family and a desire to do the right thing. Away from all that, I believe she’d show new facets and enjoy the adventure Picture Quote #1
