“I am not romantic, you know; I never was.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“Sometimes I have moments of pure astonishment when I realize that William, it seems, is very sure that he knows all of me. He believes that I am the person he sits across from at dinner every evening; he thinks he understands the woman with whom he lies at night. I suppose this means that I am a good wife. But I cannot think of a single time that I have shared more than the barest surface of my thoughts with him, and keeping myself always in check can sometimes feel so very draining.”
― Molly Greeley, The Clergyman's Wife: A Pride & Prejudice Novel
