Pride and Prejudice

• "I wish with all my soul his wife may plague his heart out."
  - Sense and Sensibility, Ch. 30

"Our pleasures in this world are always to be paid for."

“You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope...I have loved none but you.”

And wish from this day forth never to be parted from you.”
Pride and Prejudice
