Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
I don't want her to know the truth about us."
"I'm merely going to explain to explain that I'm not Nathaniel's mistress."
"You can't talk about mistresses to a well-bred Englishwoman. It violates every propriety."
"To speak in a forthright manner violates propriety?" She rose to stare at him with thinly veiled amusements. "No wonder you English lost the colonies. What with all the lying and the 'propriety' and the evasions, how do you ever get anything done?"
As she crossed the box to sit down beside Evelina, he stared after her in fascinated amazement. Americans were mad - that's all there was to it. ~ Sabrina Jeffries

Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
The world ... is too full of real evil for me at least, to cause one moment of unnecessary uneasiness to any of its poor pilgrims. 'Tis strange ... that this is not more generally considered, since the advantage would be so reciprocal from man to man. But wrapt up in our own short moment, we forget our neighbour's long hour! and existence is ultimately embittered to all, by the refined susceptibility for ourselves that monopolizes our feelings. ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
Money is the source of the greatest vice, and that nation which is most rich, is most wicked. ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
But authors before they write should read. ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney

Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
There is nothing", answered he, "which requires more immediate notice than impertinence, for it ever encroaches when it is tolerated. ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
Can any thing, my good Sir, be more painful to a friendly mind than a necessity of communicating disagreeable intelligence? Indeed, it is sometimes difficult to determine, whether the relater or the receiver of evil tidings is most to be pitied. ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
Mock you!" repeated he earnestly, "no I revere you! I esteem and I admire you above all human beings! you are the friend to whom my soul is attached as to its better half! you are the most amiable, the most perfect of women! and you are dearer to me than language has the power of telling. ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
I felt a confusion unspeakable at again seeing him, from the recollection of the ridotto adventure: nor did my situation lessen it; for I was seated between Madame Duval and Sir Clement, who seemed as little as myself to desire Lord Orville's presence. Indeed, ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
You must not sneeze. If you have a vehement cold you must take no notice of it; if your nose membranes feel a great irritation you must hold your breath; if a sneeze still insists upon making its way you must oppose it keeping your teeth grinding together; if the violence of the pulse breaks some blood-vessel you must break the blood-vessel
but not sneeze. ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
Wealth per se I never too much valued, and my acquaintance with its possessors has by no means increased my veneration for it. ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
To have some account of my thoughts, manners, acquaintance and actions, when the hour arrives in which time is more nimble than memory, is the reason which induces me to keep a journal: a journal in which I must confess my every thought, must open my whole heart! ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
The ancients say that one note of a song is twenty times more powerful than a single word, and that only in song can truth be clearly perceived, for though words can harbor lies, music cannot abide them. ~ Nicole Evelina
Evelina Burney quotes by Nicole Evelina
I have the honour to be quite of your Lordship's opinion," said Mr. Lovel, looking maliciously at Mrs. Selwyn, "for I have an insuperable aversion to strength, either of body or mind, in a female."
"Faith, and so have I," said Mr. Coverley; "for egad I'd as soon see a woman chop wood, as hear her chop logic."
"So would every man in his senses," said Lord Merton; "for a woman wants nothing to recommend her but beauty and good nature; in every thing else she is either impertinent or unnatural. For my part, deuce take me if ever I wish to hear a word of sense from a woman as long as I live!"
"It has always been agreed," said Mrs. Selwyn, looking round her with the utmost contempt, "that no man ought to be connected with a woman whose understanding is superior to his own. Now I very much fear, that to accommodate all this good company, according to such a rule, would be utterly impracticable, unless we should chuse subjects from Swift's hospital of idiots. ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney

Evelina Burney quotes by Ty Burney
Well of all things in the world, I don't suppose anything can be so dreadful as a public wedding
my stars!
I should never be able to support it! ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
There si nothing upon the face of the earth so insipid as a medium. Give me love or hate! A friend that will go to jail for me, or an enemy that will run me through the body! ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
To Nobody, then, will I write my Journal! since to Nobody can I be wholly unreserved, to Nobody can I reveal every thought, every wish of my heart, with the most unlimited confidence, the most unremitting sincerity, to the end of my life! ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
From my earliest youth to the present hour...literature has been the favourite object of my pursuit, my recreation in leisure, and my hope in employment. My propensity to it, indeed, has been so ungovernable, that I may properly call it the source of my several miscarriages throughout life. It was the bar to my preferment, for it gave me a distaste to other studies; it was the cause of my unsteadiness in all my undertakings, because to all I preferred it. It has sunk me to distress, it has involved me in difficulties; it has brought me to the brink of ruin by making me neglect the means of living, yet never, till now, did I discern it might itself be my support. ~ Frances Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Frances Burney
...they who exchange their independence for the sweet name of Wife must be prepared to find all is not gold that glitters...

...Eş gibi tatlı bir kelime karşılığında özgürlüklerinden vazgeçenler, parlayan her şeyin altın olmadığını görmeye hazırlıklı olmalıdırlar... ~ Edith Wharton
Evelina Burney quotes by Edith Wharton
What arguments, what persuasions can I make use of, with any prospect of success, to such a woman as Madame Duval? ... She is too ignorant for instruction, too obstinate for entreaty, and too weak for reason. ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
How truly does this journal contain my real and undisguised thoughts
I always write it according to the humour I am in, and if astranger was to think it worth reading, how capricious
insolent & whimsical I must appear!
one moment flighty and half mad,
the next sad and melancholy. No matter! Its truth and simplicity are its sole recommendations. ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
The mind naturally accommodates itself, even to the most ridiculous improprieties, if they occur frequently. ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
I wish the opera was every night. It is, of all entertainments, the sweetest and most delightful. Some of the songs seemed to melt my very soul. ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
Those who wander in the world avowedly and purposely in pursuit of happiness, who view every scene of present joy with an eye to what may succeed, certainly are more liable to disappointment, misfortune and unhappiness, than those who give up their fate to chance and take the goods and evils of fortune as they come, without making happiness their study, or misery their foresight. ~ Fanny Burney
Evelina Burney quotes by Fanny Burney
Only then did she pause to read Juniper's card.Professor James Moriarty. She slipped it into her reticule without another thought. The name meant nothing to her, except that he looked more like a James than an Arnold. ~ Emma Jane Holloway
