Journals and Diary Entries Flashcards
I scarce wish for anything
So truly as to be in love
Writing is the most dangerous
Employment young persons can have
In London, acquaintances are as easily dropped as counted, and
Company chosen or rejected at pleasure
The poor children belong to
A sex specifically prone to cruelty
Their dress
Is barbarous
The plights and failings of women are oftener from some defect
In head than in heart, so that where we are weak, you are wicked
Whatever is natural, plain or easy,
Is entirely brushed from polite circles
Sentiment and sensations
Were the lost fashion
Omai seems to shame education, for his manners are
So graceful, and he is so attentive, polite, and easy
These immense sized men speak
To women as if they were children
If I had imagined Miss Burney would have thought
At all the better of me for dress
I dreaded being thought
Studious and affected
I must call them gentleman and lady, because they travelled here in their own coach and 4 horses;
But at the first inn, the lady called for a pint!
I told her how much
I dreaded being discovered
I was so much agitated at the thought of being known
As a scribbler, that I was really ill all night
His appearance and dress are at once man,y and fashionable,
Without the smallest note of foppery or modest graves
A woman who could spell a modern letter was regarded as
Accomplished - but now they are used by man in everything
Her conversation is not merely that of a woman already, but like that
Of a most commonly informed, cultivated and sagacious woman
Laying to the door of their men,
Their faults and imperfections
But the men, she
Said, were all bad
How can anyone endure the town after
Seeing the outless simplicity of the country
May he be totally obscured by the indulgencies of
Violent passions, and e ascending of favourite prejudices
An indelicate
Beast
Tipping herself up for
Gay young thing!
To nobody can I be wholly unreserved -
To nobody can I reveal any thought
