![“[ Lady Susan novel by Jane Austen is] extremely difficult to adapt. I worked on it for years, for, like, ten years, before I started showing it to people. This was my back-burner project.” quote by Whit Stillman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/063/whit-stillman-16157_austen_lady-susan-novel-by-jane-austen-is-extre_2313217.jpg)
![“I think a lot of ["Cosmopolitans"] is marked by [Jerome David] Salinger. Salinger wouldn't allow his works to be adapted for film after his experience with "Uncle Wiggly in Connecticut," and I think that's great for us because then we have to do our own Salinger stories.” quote by Whit Stillman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/edb/whit-stillman-16157_adapted_i-think-a-lot-of-cosmopolitans-is-marked_422570.jpg)
![“[Jane] Austen was not a novelist for nothing: she knew that our stories are what make us human, and that listening to someone else's stories -- entering into their feelings, validating their experiences -- is the highest way of acknowledging their humanity, the sweetest form of usefulness.” quote by William Deresiewicz](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/2bb/william-deresiewicz-15471_jane-austen_jane-austen-was-not-a-novelist-for-nothi_62623.jpg)
