“I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures.
None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.”
― Jane Austen, Persuasion

 

Of all the Austen novels, this is the one I find myself thinking about the most. What makes this one feel different is that Austen wrote it at the end of her life. She was ill and there's something in the writing that you don't quite find in her earlier work.
