Quotation from: Emma

Written by: Jane Austen


"Ah! that ball!--why did we wait for any thing?--why not seize the
pleasure at once?--How often is happiness destroyed by preparation,
foolish preparation!--You told us it would be so.--Oh! Miss Woodhouse,
why are you always so right?"


"Indeed, I am very sorry to be right in this instance. I would
much rather have been merry than wise."


"If I can come again, we are still to have our ball. My father
depends on it. Do not forget your engagement."
