“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”
- Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen
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.
