There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.

Without music, life would be a blank to me.

Every moment had its pleasure and its hope.

A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.

One cannot have too large a party. A large party secures its own amusement.

It is very unfair to judge any body’s conduct, without an intimate knowledge of their situation.

I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.

Don’t waste your love on somebody, who doesn’t value it.

If you love deeply, you’re going to get hurt badly. But it’s still worth it.
