Mrs. Austen: Affection is desirable. Money is absolutely indispensable!

Mrs. Austen: JANE!
Lady Gresham: What is she doing?
Mr. Wisley: Writing.
Lady Gresham: Can anything be done about it?

Tom Lefroy: What value will there ever be in life, if we aren't together?

Jane Austen: My characters shall have, after a little trouble, all that they desire.

Tom Lefroy: If you wish to practice the art of fiction, to be considered the equal of a masculine author, then your horizons must be... widened.

Mr. Wisley: Sometimes affection is a shy flower that takes time to blossom.

Eliza De Feuillide: What trouble we take to make them like us when we like them.

Tom Lefroy: You dance with passion.
Jane Austen: No sensible woman would demonstrate passion, if the purpose were to attract a husband.
Tom Lefroy: As opposed to a lover?

Jane Austen: [she has just kissed him] Did I do that well?
Tom Lefroy: Very. Very well.
Jane Austen: I wanted, just once, to do it well.

Tom Lefroy: I am yours, heart and soul. Much good that is.
Jane Austen: Let me decide that.

John Warren: And the famous Mrs. Radcliffe, is she as Gothic as her novels?
Jane Austen: Not in externals. But her internal landscape is, I suspect, quite picturesque.
Mr. Wisley: True of us all.

Becoming Jane; The most beautifully moving film I have ever viewed in my entire life. It will now forever be my favorite film.
