Love Quotes in Austenland

How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #1

Each time [she watched Pride and Prejudice], Jane's heart banged, her skin chilled, and she clamped down on the distracting ache in her guy with a bowl of something naughty, like Cocoa Pebbles. (Prologue.5)

Jane loves Pride and Prejudice. She really loves Pride and Prejudice. We're surprised she doesn't lobby for legislation to make it legal to marry a DVD. The emotions she feels over P&P mimic those people feel when in love. With each other.

Quote #2

Each time the men in your life disappoint, you let Mr. Darcy in a little bit more. (1.35)

It seems that love, to Jane, is something that fills other emotional holes in her life. Especially her love for Mr. Darcy. As that "something missing" gets bigger and bigger, her love for Darcy grows and grows. Girl's gotta get some self-confidence, are we right?

Quote #3

In Austen's world there was no such thing as a fling. Every romance was intended to lead to marriage. (2.64)

This is definitely the kind of true love that we see in movies and books—from Austen to Stephenie Meyer to, of course, Austenland.
