My World as Jane Bennet

Hey all, my name is Elizabeth. I'm a typical college girl wondering what is in store for my life. I am a Psychology and English major and college is one of my favourite things (true story).This blog is inspired by my great love of Jane Austen's novels and my love for the written word. Pride and Prejudice has been one of my favourite books since I was fourteen, and I have been compared to the character Jane Bennet. This is my world as Jane.
PS. Expect Doctor Who, other BBC tv shows, gorgeous photos, personality types (I'm an INFJ), and much randomness on this blog as well. Enjoy!

"They say there is a young lady in [New Haven] who is beloved of that Great Being, who made and rules the world, and that there are certain seasons in which this Great Being, in some way or another invisible, comes to her and fills her mind with exceeding sweet delight, and that she hardly cares for anything except to meditate on him…Therefore, if you present all the world before her, with the richest of its treasures, she disregards it and cares not for it, and is unmindful of any pain or affliction. She has a strange sweetness in her mind and a singular purity in her affections; is most just and conscientious in all her conduct; and you could not persuade her to do anything wrong or sinful if you would give her all the world… She is of a wonderful sweetness, calmness and universal benevolence of mind…She will sometimes go about from place to place, singing sweetly and seems to be always full of joy and pleasure; and no one knows for what. She loves to be alone, walking in the field and groves, and seems to have someone invisible always conversing with her"

said of Sarah Edwards by Jonathan Edwards when he first noticed her (via agirlwaiting)
