Excerpts from my Bible ... (8)

Moise i-a zis: „Dacă nu mergi Tu Însuţi cu noi, nu ne lăsa să plecăm de aici. Cum se va şti că am căpătat trecere înaintea Ta, eu şi poporul Tău? Oare nu când vei merge Tu cu noi şi când prin aceasta vom fi deosebiţi, eu şi poporul Tău, de toate popoarele de pe faţa pământului?”  Domnul a zis lui Moise: „Voi face şi ceea ce-mi ceri acum, căci ai căpătat trecere înaintea Mea şi te cunosc pe nume!”(Exod 33:15-17)

Pride and Prejudice (2)

”However he wrote some verses on her, and very pretty they were.”
”And so ended his affection”, said Elizabeth impatiently .”There has been many a one, I fancy, overcome in the same way. I wonder who first discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love!”
”I have been used to consider poetry as the food of love,” said Darcy.
”Of a fine, stout, healthy love it may. Everything nourishes what is strong already. But if it be only a slight, thin sort of inclination, I am convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away.” (Charles Bingley, Elizabeth Bennet, Fitzwilliam Darcy)

Pride and Prejudice (1)

”His pride”, said Miss Lucas,”does not offend me so much as pride often does, because there is an excuse for it. One cannot wonder that so very fine a young man, with family fortune, everything in his favor, should think highly of himself. If I may so express it, he has a right to be proud.”
”That is very true”, replied Elizabeth,”and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.”
”Pride”, observed Mary, who piqued herself upon the solidity of her reflections,”is a very common failing I believe. By all that I have ever read, I am convinced that it is very common indeed, that human nature is particularly prone to it, and that there are very few of us who do not cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of some quality or other, real or imaginary. Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.” ( Charlotte Lucas, Elizabeth Bennet, Mary Bennet)
