Sense and Sensibility

I absolutily love this movie, and I just had share some of my favorite quotes with you.

Elinor Dashwood: Margaret has always wanted to travel.
Edward Ferrars: I know. She's heading an expedition to China shortly. I'm to go as her servant. But only on the understanding that I am to be very badly treated.
Elinor Dashwood: What will your duties be?
Edward Ferrars: Sword fighting, obviously, administering rum and swabbing.
Elinor Dashwood: And which of these will take precedence?
Edward Ferrars: Swabbing, I imagine.

Marianne: Fanny wishes to know where the key to the silver cabinet is kept.
Elinor Dashwood: Betsy has it I think. What does Fanny want with the silver?
Marianne: One can only presume she wants to count it. What are you doing?
Elinor Dashwood: Presents for the servants. Have you seen Margaret by the way? I'm worried about her. She's taken to hiding in the oddest places.
Marianne: Fortunate girl. At least she can escape Fanny which is more than any of us is able.
Elinor Dashwood: You do your best. You've not said a word to her for a week.
Marianne: I have. I've said "yes" and "no".

Mrs. Dashwood: If you cannot think of anything appropriate to say you will please restrict your remarks to the weather. (Wise advice.)

[Edward and Elinor are baiting Margaret, who is playfully hiding]
Edward Ferrars: I wish to check the position of the Nile. My sister tells me it is in South America.
Elinor Dashwood: No. She's quite wrong, for I believe it is in Belgium.
Edward Ferrars: You must be thinking of the Volga.
Margaret: The Volga?
Elinor Dashwood: Of course, the Volga. Which, as you know, starts in...
Edward Ferrars: Vladivostock, and ends in...
Elinor Dashwood: Wimbledon.
Edward Ferrars: Precisely. Where the coffee beans come from.
Margaret: The source of the Nile is in Abyssinia.

Elinor Dashwood: Marianne, can you play something else? Mamma has been weeping since breakfast.
[From the other room as Marianne switches to a dirge]
Elinor Dashwood: I meant something LESS mournful dearest.

Marianne: Good morning, Fanny.
Fanny: Good morning, Miss Marianne.
Marianne: How did you find the silver? Was it all genuine?

Marianne: Are we never to have a moment's peace? The rent here may be low but I believe we have it on very hard terms.
Elinor Dashwood: Mrs Jennings is a wealthy woman with a married daughter, she has nothing to do but marry off everyone else's.

Marianne: Come, I'm taking you on a walk.
Margaret: No, I've been on a walk.
Marianne: You need another.
Margaret: It's going to rain.
Marianne: It is NOT going to rain.
Margaret: You ALWAYS say that, and then it ALWAYS does.

Elinor Dashwood: Would you have him treat her even worse than Willoughby has treated you?
Marianne: No. But nor would I have him marry someone he does not love.

Margaret: Do you think he'll kneel down when he asks her?
Elinor Dashwood: Shh!
Margaret: They always kneel down.

Edward Ferrars: Perhaps Margaret is right. Piracy is our only option.

Edward Ferrars: Your friendship has been the most important of my life.
Elinor Dashwood: You will always have it.

Anne Fans

Now me, my siters and my cousin Hannah love the Anne Movies. From Anne's temper to dramatic ways we really are Anne's fans!
I have to say I can relate to Anne in many ways than one. My imagination normally takes off to places before I can stop it, and talk some sense to it. Also I'm a writer and I do love to talk and write in "high fluhutin mumbo-jumbo". Poetry is a delight also and I have to admit I do love simple country life to city life. The sun rising, the field blowing in the wind and maybe some deer in the distants. My feet in the creek, long walks in the woods and reading books from trees and picking wild flowers!

I am very fortunate to have wild flowers in a small field near by, even though I live in a neighborhood.

Now for another old picture I found looking for images of Anne on the internet. Don't you like them?
