Just wanted to wish Jane Austen and Happy 233rd Birthday! In honor of such an occasion I thought we could list some of our favorite quotes.

"For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors and laugh at them in our turn?"

What a great idea!

One of my favorite quotes comes from one of her letters, to her sister I think if I remember correctly? (I keep the quotes in a file but sometimes I forget to write precisely where it comes from!) :

"I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal."
