This is a quote said by Marianne Dashwood in Chapter III of Sense and Sensibility.

For background, Marianne makes this statement after discussing her slight disapproval of Edward with her mother, Mrs. Dashwood. The quote stands as an excellent example of Marriane’s sensibility compared to Elinor's sense. Elinor carries more sense, as she is learning more about her feelings towards Edward as she gets to know him. The first volume of the novel depicts the sensibility of Marianne and the sense of Elinor, as well as the sense and sensibility of the characters around them by showing their developing personalities, thoughts, and ideas. Many relationships and character dynamics of the first volume are shaped by the combinations of one character’s sense and another’s sensibility, as well as the shared sensibility between two characters, and so on. An example of this is in the lines just before this quote, when Marianne is telling Mrs. Dashwood that she is not very approving of Edward and Elinor as a pair because of his lack of taste and sensibility. 

This memorable and iconic quote for the novel has this legacy because of its ability to be relatable to many readers. It is also quite humorous. This quote can be translated into today’s language as having “high standards,” which many can relate to. A lot of audiences can read this line and think, “Yes, it’s hard to find a relationship nowadays! Men lack chivalry! Chivalry is dead!”

“It’s not everyone,” said Elinor, “who has your passion for dead leaves.”

Sense and Sensibility (1811), Jane Austen

#literally fucjing iconic #how do you top this #sense and sensibility #elinor dashwood #jane austen #this is the best one liner i have ever #~experienced~ #miss austen i love yoi #b: sense and sensibility (1811) #ch: elinor dashwood #queue

[britneyshakespeare]

Before her removing from Norland, Elinor had painted a very pretty pair of screens for her sister-in-law, which being now just mounted and brought home, ornamented her present drawing room; and these screens, catching the eye of John Dashwood on his following the other gentlemen into the room, were officiously handed by him to Colonel Brandon for his admiration.   "These are done by my eldest sister," said he; "and you, as a man of taste, will, I dare say, be pleased with them. I do not know whether you ever happened to see any of her performances before, but she is in general reckoned to draw extremely well."   The Colonel, though disclaiming all pretensions to connoisseurship, warmly admired the screens, as he would have done anything painted by Miss Dashwood; and the curiosity of the others being of course excited, they were handed round for general inspection. Mrs. Ferrars, not aware of their being Elinor's work, particularly requested to look at them; and after they had received the gratifying testimony of Lady Middleton's approbation, Fanny presented them to her mother, considerately informing her at the same time, that they were done by Miss Dashwood.   "Hum" -- said Mrs. Ferrars -- "very pretty," -- and without regarding them at all, returned them to her daughter.   Perhaps Fanny thought for a moment that her mother had been quite rude enough, -- for, colouring a little, she immediately said,   "They are very pretty, ma'am -- an't they?" But then again, the dread of having been too civil, too encouraging herself, probably came over her, for she presently added,   "Do you not think they are something in Miss Morton's style of painting, ma'am? She does paint most delightfully. How beautifully her last landscape is done!"   "Beautifully indeed! But she does everything well."   Marianne could not bear this. She was already greatly displeased with Mrs. Ferrars; and such ill-timed praise of another, at Elinor's expense, though she had not any notion of what was principally meant by it, provoked her immediately to say with warmth,   "This is admiration of a very particular kind! -- what is Miss Morton to us? Who knows or who cares for her? It is Elinor of whom we think and speak."   And so saying, she took the screens out of her sister-in-law's hands to admire them herself as they ought to be admired.

Top 10 Women Characters

I was tagged by @dracoimreh​, thanks for the tag! 🖤🖤 (love this shit!)

1. Sansa Stark - “From porcelain, to ivory, to steel.” The growth this character goes through is staggering. You start off being so annoyed with her, then feeling sorry for her, only to finally root like hell for her in the end. My Queen in the North! 🐺

2. Hermione Granger - I came for a story about a boy wizard but stayed for the whip smart muggleborn witch. 

3. Yennifer of Vengerberg - A beaten woman who finds strength and power and becomes the best of them. She owns herself and makes no apologies and is just a muthafuckin BAMF!

4. Lagertha - Wife. Mother. Shield-maiden. Earl. Queen. The BAMF of all BAMF. “You couldn't kill me if you tried for a hundred years.” 

5. Margaret Hale - A gently raised naive Lady who falls on hard times and learns her own strength.  She learns to appreciate hard work and to understand the struggle of lower classes and to admire their pride and dignity, all while her own struggle only worsens and yet she still comes out stronger, braver and kinder for it.

6. Elinor Dashwood - The epitome of gentle grace. She cares for her family and puts everyones happiness before her own. She is a mistress of herself. 

7. Fleabag - She is me. She is a self-sabotaging, dry-witted, angry, no filter fleabag and I would die for her. 

8. Miranda - The BEST person in the whole world! She is silly, unapologetic, hot for boys, all about self acceptance and body positivity. She is adorkable and I would die for her too. 

9. Morticia Addams - The Queen of Zen. An icon for witches and goth girls alike.  A perfectly wicked wife and mother. #relationshipgoals

10. Martha McKay - The epitome of chaotic energy, Martha is a quirky, slightly manic, go-with-the-flow, weirdo and I love her. Listen, I know its slightly problematic but I just don't care. I love her, I love Mr. Right (Francis), and I love that they become a crazy assassin couple by the end. #relationshipgoals

So what I'm seeing is that I admire woman who can kick ass, who are smart, who don't apologize for who they are, and who survive life’s harsh struggles and come out stronger, kinder and more resilient in the end.

I tag @sassyeggs74​ @orangetabbywrites​ and @supernovadragoncat​

Ooh 8 10 14 16 for the austen asks?

8. Least favorite couple

This kind of goes along with the last ask, but I loathe John and Fanny Dashwood. I know he gets more of a spine at the end and everything ends up okay but like. Dude royally fucked up.

10. Most frustrating family member

I already said John and Fanny BUT I am also going to add Mrs. Bennet, which I know is a really obvious answer, but holy shit the woman has no tact and Darcy was right to point it out.

14. Favorite love confession from the books

I love Emma and Knightley’s moment because not only is it a great moment of two lifelong friends who are in love with each other just now realizing that their feelings are requited, but also because Emma IMMEDIATELY is like WAIT I CAN’T MARRY YOU BECAUSE I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF MY DAD. and regency feminist icon George Knightley decides that he’ll defy convention by moving in with his wife.

16. Least favorite film adaptation

there was like...a really bad made for tv version of Sense and Sensibility, and they conflated John Dashwood with Edward Ferrars, I think?? And Elinor and Marianne moved into a tiny apartment together to show that they were poor but it was furnished and decorated way nicer than it should’ve been. And Elinor got promoted on her first day or something weird like that? It was really bad, I couldn’t even finish it.
