Emma Quote by Jane Austen
““Može li iko upoznati nečiju narav u Batu, ili na kojem drugom javnom mestu... Sve je to ništavno; ne može se tako ništa znati. Samo kada čovek vidi ženu u njenom domu, među njenim prijateljima, onakvu kakva je uvek. Tek onda može da stekne ispravno mišljenje. Sve drugo je sređa i nagađanje - a često se ispostavi da je zla sreća.””
