Quotes 

• Mr. Darcy : In vain have I struggled, it will not do. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.

• Mr. Darcy : I fear I am ill-qualified to recommend myself to strangers.

  Elizabeth Bennet : Shall we ask him why? Why a man of sense and education, who has lived in the world, should be ill-qualified to recommend himself to strangers?

  Mr. Darcy : I am... I have not that talent which some possess, of conversing easily with strangers.

  Elizabeth Bennet : I do not play this instrument so well as I should wish to, but I have always supposed that to be my own fault, because I would not take the trouble of practicing.

  Mr. Darcy : You're perfectly right. You've employed your time much better. No one admitted to the privilege of hearing you, could think anything wanting.

• Mr. Darcy : 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.

  Mr. Darcy : Almost from the earliest moments of our acquaintance, I have come to feel for you a passionate admiration and regard, which despite all my struggles, has overcome every rational objection and I beg you, most fervently, to relieve my suffering and consent to be my wife.

  Elizabeth Bennet : In such cases as these, I believe the established mode is to express a sense of obligation... but I cannot. I have never desired your good opinion and you have certainly bestowed it most unwillingly. I'm sorry to cause pain to anyone, but it was most unconsciously done and I hope will be of short duration.
