favourite films: Persuasion (2009)

“I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.” 

request by peachykeentarts:

Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant.

Miss Louisa is a very good, amiable, sweet tempered girl but Harville’s sister was a very superior woman. And Benwick’s attachment to her was indeed profound. A man cannot recover from such a passion with such a woman. He ought not. He does not.
