| Quote | (J)ane Eyre or (P)ride and Prejudice |

| 'I knew you would do me good in some way, at some time: I saw it in your eyes when I first beheld you...' | |
| 'I had not intended to love him; the reader knows I had wrought hard to extirpate from my soul the germs of love there detected...' | |
| 'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife' | |
| 'Since happiness is irrevocably denied me, I have a right to get pleasure out of life: and I will get it, cost what it may.' | |
| 'How despicably have I acted!' she cried. - 'I, who have prided myself on my discernment! - I, who have valued myself on my abilities!.' | |
| “In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.” | |
| 'I have said no such thing. I am only resolved to act in that manner, which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or to any person...' | |
| 'I will be your neighbor, your nurse, your housekeeper. I find you lonely: I will be your companion—to read to you, to walk with you, to sit with you, to wait on you...' | |
| 'What do I not owe you! You taught me a lesson, hard indeed at first, but most advantageous. By you, I was properly humbled. I came to you without a doubt of my reception.' | |
| 'You mocking changeling – fairy-born and human-bred! You make me feel as I have not felt these twelve months.' | |
| 'That is what makes it amusing. Had they fixed on any other man it would have been nothing; but his perfect indifference, and your pointed dislike, make it so delightfully absurd!' | |
| 'Reader, I married him' | |
