Favourite Quotes

I realize that as a new blog there are going to be a lot of 'firsts'.  The first milestone was the first post (check).  Well, for my second 'first' I will be introducing a feature where I post quotes that I love from novels or life in general.  For the first I will quote one of my most loved novels - Jane Austen's Sense & Sensibility.

"... in Marianne he was consoled for every past affliction;—her regard and her society restored his mind to animation, and his spirits to cheerfulness; and that Marianne found her own happiness in forming his, was equally the persuasion and delight of each observing friend.  Marianne could never love by halves; and her whole heart became, in time, as much devoted to her husband, as it had once been to Willoughby."

I'm sure I'm not alone in loving this part of the novel.  That, to me, is romance.
