I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature. My attachments are always excessively strong.

If a book is well written, I always find it too short.
Jane Austen (via pinmywings)
(via pinmywings)
Mr. Elliot was rational, discreet, polished,- but he was not open. There was never any burst of feeling, any warmth of indignation or delight, at the evil or good of others. This, to Anne, was a decided imperfection. Her early impressions were incurable. She prized the frank, the open-hearted, the eager character beyond others. Warmth and enthusiasm did captivate her still. She felt that she could so much more depend upon the sincerity of those who sometimes looked or said a careless or a hasty thing, than of those whose presence of mind never varied, whose tongue never slipped.
Jane Austen {Persuasion}
Jane Austen heroines
I love how Jane Austen’s heroines are so brave and have a mind of their own. It was written very very long ago but it seems so contemporary. I just have them as my role models really.
“I thought Lizzie should be slightly plainer, that Darcy is attracted to the liveliness of her mind and not her physical beauty. But when I went to Montreal to meet Keira the day after her nineteenth birthday, she bounded in and I suddenly I realized that she was a tomboy. It seemed that she’d always been put in these pretty dresses and told to look pretty and suddenly there was this quite angular, feisty girl who couldn’t shut up. She just talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and suddenly I realized this was the key to Lizzie, that this could work”.
( Joe Wright, Director)
