Kitobdan sitatalar «Pride and Prejudice»

'Pride,' observed Mary, who piqued herself upon the solidity of her reflections, 'is a very common failing, I believe. By all that I have 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 d 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 related more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.'
