A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment.
Jane Austen (Pride and Prejudice)
vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.
Jane Austen (Pride and Prejudice)
I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.
Jane Austen (Pride and Prejudice)
But then, the great craziness of men and women is precisely that: love.
Paulo Coelho (Veronika decides to die)
