“Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings.” ― Jane Austen, Mansfield Park

My name is Jess, I'm eighteen and British. This blog is dedicated to all things Jane Austen, which you could probably already guess. I know there's already a lot of Jane Austen blogs out there, but I had loads of it clogging up my dashboard so I decided to create my own; mostly just for my own amusement.

  3. I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
    — Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice  (via bougainvilleaseeds)
  4. I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way. Greatness will not make me so.
    — Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen (via bottazzella)
  5. But I hate to hear you talking so like a fine gentleman, and as if women were all fine ladies, instead of rational creatures. We none of us expect to be in smooth water all our days.
    — Jane Austen (via windowsdownradioup)

  6. “Got all the actors to improvise as much as possible to give it a kind of reality and a freshness. I was screaming at Matthew at that moment to walk through and turn left, and trying to be heard over the music. The energy that you get as a director shooting a scene like that is just the best feeling in the world. The adrenalin of it is just incredible. That´s what we live for. Or at least that´s what I live for”.

    (Joe Wright, Director)

  10. “His costume had a series of stages. The first time we see him he’s at Meryton, where he has a very stiffly tailored jacket on, and he’s quite contained and rigid. He stays in that rigid form for the first part of the film. By the time we get to the proposal that goes wrong in the rain, we move to a similar cut, but a much softer fabric. And then later he’s got a completely different cut of coat, not interlined, and he wears it undone.”

    (Jacqueline Durran, Costume designer)
