There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.
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.
In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.
I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.
The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!
