Hervorragend! Tolle Liebesgeschichte voller spritziger Wortgefechte!
Ich habe mir vor einiger Zeit die Mühe gemacht, meine Lieblingszitate in meinem Blog zu notieren. Das mache ich hier jetzt auch (es ist zwar aus dem englischen Original, aber ihr solltet damit keine Probleme haben... hoffe ich):
Bingley was sure of being liked wherever he appeared, Darcy was continually giving offence.

"Mr. Darcy is not to be laughed at!" cried Elizabeth. "That is an uncommon advantage, and uncommon I hope it will continue, for it would be a great loss to me to have many such acquaintances. I dearly love a laugh!"
--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--
May I ask whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the moment, or are the result of previous study?" [Mr. Bennet] - "They arise chiefly from what is passing at time, and though I sometimes amuse myself with suggesting and arranging such little elegant compliments as may be adapted to ordinary occasions, I always wish to give them as unstudied an air as possible." [Mr. Collins]

"I have often observed how little young ladies are interested by books of a serious stamp, though written solely for their benefit. It amazes me, I confess; - for,certainly, there can be nothing so advantageous to them as instruction." [Mr. Collins]
--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--
"The world is blinded by his fortune and consequence, or frightened by his high and imposing matters, and sees him only as he chuses to be seen."
(Mr. Wickham über Mr. Darcy)
--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--
Charlotte tried to comfort her (Elizabeth):
"I dare say you will find him [Mr. Darcy] very agreeable." - "Heaven forbid! - That would be the greatest misfortune of all! - To find a man agreeable whom one is determined to hate! - Do not wish me such an evil!"
--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--
"I am not now to learn," replied Mr. Collins, "that it is usual with young ladies to reject the addresses of the man whom they secretly mean to accept, when he first applies for their favour; and that sometimes the refusal is repeated a second or third time. I am therefore by no means discouraged by what you have just said, and shall hope to lead you to the altar ere long."
--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--
"An unhappy alternative is now before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents. Your mother will not see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do."
--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--
"I have no pleasure in talking to undutiful children. - Not that I have much pleasure, indeed, in talking to anybody.People who suffer as I do from nervous complaints can have no great inclination for talking. Nobody can tell what I suffer! - But it is so. Those who do not complain are never pitied."
[Mrs. Bennet]

In as short time as Mr. Collins's long speeches would allow,everything was settled between them to the satisfaction of both.
--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--
"...your sister is crossed in love, I find. I congratulate her. Next to being married, a girl likes to be crossed in love a little now and then.It is something to think of, and gives her a sort of distinction among her companions."
--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--
"Is not general incivility the very essence of love?"
--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--
After a silence of several minutes, he [Mr. Darcy] came towards her [Lizzy] in an agitated manner, and thus began -
"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 no wish of denying that I did everything to seperate my friend from your sister, or rejoice in my success. Towards him I have been kinder than to myself."
--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--
He brought a message from her ladyship [Lady Catherine de Bourgh], importing that she felt herself so dull as to make her desirous of having them all to dine with her.
--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--
"There certainly was some mismanagement of those two young men [Mr. Darcy + Mr. Wickham].One has all the goodness, and the other all the appearance of it."
--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--
To he wife he [Mr. Bennet] was very little otherwise indebted, than as her ignorance and folly had contributed to his amusement. This is not the sort of happiness which a man would in general wish to owe to his wife, but where other powers of entertainment are wanting, the true philosopher will derive benefit from such as are given.

Her thoughts were all fixed on the one spot of Pemberley House, whichever it might be, where Mr. Darcy than was.

It was consoling that he should know that she had some relations for whom there was no need to blush.
--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--<>--
She wanted to talk, but there seemed to be an embargo on every subject.

"You are very cruel,[..]you will not let me smile, and yet are provoking me to it every moment." [Lizzy zu Jane]

Scharfsinnig bin ich von Montag bis Freitag. Übers Wochenende leiste ich mir den Luxus der Dummheit.
