Quotes
“To have some account of my thoughts, manners, acquaintance and actions, when the hour arrives in which time is more nimble than memory, is the reason which induces me to keep a journal: a journal in which I must confess my every thought, must open my whole heart!”
Letters, p. 1 “A private ball this was called...but Lord! my dear Sir, I believe I saw half the world!”
Evelina, Letter XI “Generosity without delicacy, like wit without judgment, generally brings as much pain as pleasure.”
Evelina, Letter XX “Remember, my dear Evelina, nothing is so delicate as the reputation of a woman; it is at once the most beautiful and most brittle of all human things.”
Evelina, Letter XXXIX “Unused to the situations in which I find myself, and embarrassed by the slightest difficulties, I seldom, till too late, discover how I ought to act.”
Evelina, Letter LXVI
