Persuasion quotes in your pencil set
“She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older: the natural sequel to an unnatural beginning”
“I hate to hear you talking so like a fine gentleman, and as if women were all fine ladies, instead of rational creatures. We none of us expect to be in smooth waters all our days”
“There could have been no two hearts so open, no tastes so similar, no feelings so in union, no countenances so beloved. Now they were as strangers; nay, worse than strangers, for they could never become acquainted. It was a perpetual estrangement. ”
“All the privilege I claim for my own sex (it is not a very enviable one; you need not covet it ), is that of loving longest, when existence or when hope is gone.”
“I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever.”
