Favorite Book Quotes

I stepped inside
and immediately felt at ease,
as though in the presence of close friends among the many books with the colorful spines,
the towering wooden shelves,
and the scent of old paper, mustiness,
and memories.
Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe

Heather Webber

/Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe

That there might be a place where people were not constantly competing against each other for their very sustenance, but were instead helping each other survive through war and injury and poverty and pain, seemed as much something out of a Jane Austen novel as anything else she could have hoped to find.

Natalie Jenner

/The Jane Austen Society

There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.

Jane Austen

/Pride & Prejudice
