"A person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid. ~ Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library. ~Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much! "
