Mr Darcy Quotes

“No", she wanted to say. " I don't want you to care for me, I want to be with my husband." But nothing came out. She turned beseeching her eyes to Darcy and she saw him as if from a great distance, through a distorting glass, but his words were firm and clear. “She has no taste for your company,” he said.

“No?” said the gentleman. “But I have a taste for her.”

Hers, thought Elizabeth. He should have said hers.

“Let her go,” said Darcy warningly.

“Why should I?” asked the gentleman.

“Because she is mine,” said Darcy.

The gentleman turned his full attention toward Darcy and Elizabeth followed his eyes.

And then she saw something that made her heart thump against her rib cage and her mind collapse as she witnessed something so shocking and so terrifying that the ground came up to meet her as everything went black.”
― Amanda Grange, Mr. Darcy, Vampyre

“What made you so shy of me, when you first called, and afterwards dined here? Why, especially, when you called, did you look as if you did not care about me?"

"And so was I."

"You might have talked to me more when you came to dinner."

"A man who had felt less, might.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“But above all, above respect and esteem, there was a motive within her of good will which could not be overlooked. It was gratitude. -- Gratitude, not merely for having once loved her, but for loving her still well enough, to forgive all the petulance and acrimony of her manner in rejecting him, and all the unjust accusations accompanying her rejection. He who, she had been persuaded, would avoid her as his greatest enemy, seemed, on this accidental meeting, most eager to preserve the acquaintance, and without any indelicate display of regard, or any peculiarity of manner, where their two selves only were concerned, was soliciting the good opinion of her friends, and bent on making her known to his sister.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“In Darcy, Elizabeth would have a husband who would adore her, but who was stubborn enough to refuse to give in to her.

― Jann Rowland, Coincidence

“[...] No consigo olvidar las locuras y los vicios de otros tan pronto como debiera, ni las ofensas que se me hacen. Mis sentimientos no se modifican cad vez que se intenta influir sobre ellos. Quizá pueda decirse que tiendo al resentimiento. Cuando pierdo mi buena opinión sobre alguien o algo, perdido está para siempre”
― Jane Austen, Orgullo y Prejuicio

― Jane Austen, Pride & Predjudice

“Think good thoughts. Or maybe conjure up your perfect guy, I try to list all of the things I want in a guy. Smart. Funny. Chivalrous. What? Mr. Darcy is hot. Great, now I’m thinking about Colin Firth and he’s like my dad’s age. So wrong.”
― Daisy Prescott, Bewitched

― Elizabeth Eulberg, Prom & Prejudice

“Bennet harrumphed, annoyance building within his breast. Was he required to spell it out for them both? Had he thought them poorly suited he might have held his tongue, but Mr. Darcy’s intelligence alone was enough to ensure Elizabeth would have a happy life with him, a matter which had always given Bennet much concern.

― Linda Berdoll, The Darcys: New Pleasures

“Sagacity did not magically arrive with age. As his family grew, so did his affections. The deeper he loved, the more easily he was injured. His heart had not become reinforced. It had softened--and ripened. It was a larger target and far more easily rent.”
― Linda Berdoll, The Darcys: New Pleasures

That, my dear friend, was the closest thing to a cock fight I have ever witnessed!” Bingley’s face was smiling so broadly that Darcy suspected his cheeks must hurt.”
― Jeanna Ellsworth, Mr. Darcy's Promise

“And so you see, sir, your daughter's future would be well-secured." Darcy finished his enumerations of his significant holdings and sat back, at once satisfied and awkward. Was this not the part of the proceedings where the minor country squire jumped for joy?

― Gwendolyn Dash, In Darcy's Hands: A Pride & Prejudice Variation

That is, if you will allow it.”
― Jann Rowland, Mr. Bennet Takes Charge

“He was becoming quite worried for Mr. Darcy.

It seemed to Adam that once a man notices a woman’s eyes to be fine, and tries to eavesdrop on her conversations, and finds himself overly affected by her bad opinion of him, then such a man is on the path to something uncharted, whether he admits it to himself or not.”
― Natalie Jenner, The Jane Austen Society
