Inspirational Quotes from Jane Austen’s Most Beloved Novels

Jane Austen’s Little Book of Wisdom by Jane Austen and Andrea Kirk Assaf

Jane Austen is one of the most popular female writers in history, best known for her stories of love, loss, and hope, which are cleverly intertwined with her witty insights into the traits and expectations of English Georgian society.
 
In a new stunning little book, Jane Austen’s Little Book of Wisdom (Hampton Roads Publishing), compiled by Andrea Kirk Assaf, readers will be able to read hundreds of individual quotes from her famous works — from Pride and Prejudice and Emma to Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility. Each prompts an emotional response, thoughtful musing, or even a little snicker at the wise and shrewd perceptions that Austen had of the world around her.
 
Utterly charming and profound, fans of Jane Austen can revel in these much-loved quotes, while a new audience will be introduced to the joys that her books have provided since their publication many years ago. With each chapter focusing on a different theme — from Love & Longing to Female Strength — this gorgeous gift book is the perfect compilation of Austen’s funny, moving, and thought-provoking words.

The various themes in the book include: 

  • Love & Longing 
  • Friendship 
  • Society 
  • Female Strength 
  • Life & Death 
  • Faith 
  • Art & Literature

“Why does Jane Austen continue to attract such a loyal and ever-increasing number of fans who never seem to tire of new film adaptations of her novels?” asks Andrea Kirk Assaf, who compiled the quotes for this book. “Beyond the compelling characters she creates, such as the snobbish yet lovable Emma, or the swoon-worthy yet haughty Mr. Darcy, there are attractive gems of humor and insight that Austen offers us through them … This book offers a tantalizing taste of Jane’s mind and soul on themes dearest to her heart.”

Library Journal calls the book “a valuable resource for any Austen lover to use for quick reference or to read through. Libraries whose works by the author circulate well or whose patrons enjoy titles like Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Gmorning, Gnight! Little Pep Talks for Me & You will find this a welcome addition to their collection.”

One need not look past the back cover, quoting Austen from Pride and Prejudice: “I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!’
