Darcy Quotes

“When you are in a relationship, you are aware that it might end. You might grow apart, find someone else, simply fall out of love. But a friendship isn't a zero-sum game, and as such, you assume that it will last forever, especially an old friendship. You take its permanence for grandted, whuch might be the very thing so dear about it.”
― Emily Giffin, Something Borrowed

“She began now to comprehend that he was exactly the man who, in disposition and talents, would most suit her. His understanding and temper, though unlike her own, would have answered all her wishes. It was an union that must have been to the advantage of both: by her ease and liveliness, his mind might have been softened, his manners improved; and from his judgement, information, and knowledge of the world, she must have received benefit of greater importance.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“I will only add, God bless you.”
― Jane Austen

“My object then," replied Darcy, "was to show you, by every civility in my power, that I was not so mean as to resent the past; and I hoped to obtain your forgiveness, to lessen your ill opinion, by letting you see that your reproofs had been attended to. How soon any other wishes introduced themselves I can hardly tell, but I believe in about half an hour after I had seen you.”
― Jane Austen

“Georgie took out her phone. 'I want to take a picture of you two.' She held up her phone and motioned for us to get together.
Darcy and I lined up against the railing. 'No, I need you closer together to get you both in the photo,' she instructed.
I had taken countless pictures on the waterfront and I knew that if you were getting the skyline in the background, you didn't need to be that close.
Darcy put his arm around my shoulder and we leaned in. I slipped my arm around his waist and I noticed how easily I fit into the little nook on his side.
'Oh, hold on, I'm having problems.' Georgie played with her phone for a few moments while we just stood there in our posed embrace.
'Georgie...'
She looked up at her brother and blushed. 'Um, I think it works now.”
― Elizabeth Eulberg, Prom & Prejudice

“There can be second chances. But maybe it's also true that things can never be the same, and that you have to decide whether the second chance lives up to the first.”
― Marie Rutkoski, The Shadow Society

“If you don't have any feelings for Will Darcy, why are you blushing and fixing your hair?”
― Elizabeth Eulberg, Prom & Prejudice

“When you're a stranger to people you care about, you become a stranger to yourself.”

“Oh, Darcy!' Fitz grabbed Darcy by the collar. 'You have such a way with the ladies.”
― Elizabeth Eulberg, Prom & Prejudice

“In the final seconds before sleep, I wish I could go back and undo everything, give those little girls another chance.”
― Emily Giffin, Something Borrowed

“Icy: You ladies want to hear something funny? The quiz in last month's Teen Witch said "What would you do if you got to take over the whole universe?
Darcy: What did you put?
Icy: I wrote "You'll find out soon enough, loser," and sent it in.”
― Icy, Darcy, the Winx Club

“Elizabeth had never been more at a loss to make her feelings appear what they were not. It was necessary to laugh, when she would rather have cried. Her father had most cruelly mortified her, by what he said of Mr. Darcy's indifference, and she could do nothing but wonder at such a want of penetration, or fear that perhaps, instead of his seeing too little, she might have fancied too much.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“Mr. Wickham is blessed with such happy manners as may ensure his making friends - whether he may be equally capable of retaining them is less certain.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“For herself she was humbled; but she was proud of him. Proud that in a cause of compassion and honour, he had been able to get the better of himself.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“When person A loves person B," he began, "person A gets upset at the thought of never seeing person B again."
He meant me.
He meant he loved me.
But now I knew that love was a poisonous thing. It had turned me into a murderer. I would die with my secret before I would tell.
"It's better that way," I lied, "because person B doesn't love person A back.”
― Cherie Bennett, Searching for David's Heart: A Christmas Story

“In the early hours of the morning the house was dark and quiet. […] and Elizabeth lay in bed wide awake. Images of Mr. Darcy’s face, his nod, and his tall, handsome demeanour flooded her thoughts. She knew that even if she were spared these thoughts by sleep coming upon her, he would invade her dreams. And when she did fall asleep just before dawn,he was there just as she had expected.”
― Kara Louise, Only Mr. Darcy Will Do

“He emerged out of the lake, the declining sun drenching him with aureate light, the droplets on his body iridescent in their beams. He walked confidently toward her, almost every inch of his sculptured body exposed in his black swimsuit. Each sharp contour of muscle glistened, each limb unfolded with lithe grace as he approached, his eyes riveted on her. Coral watched spellbound, a yearning surging up within her, eager and expectant. The air around them trembled with infinite anticipation.”
― Hannah Fielding

“I tended to fall in love with characters in books. Most guys I went to school with were far too interested in sports or video games. How could they hold a candle to Mister Darcy’s intensity, Tom Joad’s ethics, Martin Eden’s passion, Caleb Trask’s struggle for goodness, or Edmond Dantes’ cunning intellect?”
― Trisha Haddad, Deep Green

“He sure told you off, huh, Icy?" ~Darcy”
― VIZ Media, Time for Magic

“It is unforgivable that men and women who have worked the land and served us for generations should be so bewildered and fearful, because of laws made to accommodate the greed of others," Darcy said, "Laws are meant to make the lives of citizens better, not worse.”
― Rebecca Ann Collins, The Pemberley Chronicles

“We are connected, Elizabeth. Of that there can be no doubt. It is something akin to your love of nature, of soil and roots and water and sunlight. Your seedlings could not thrive without one of these components…as I could not thrive without you.”
― Mirta Ines Trupp

“I will not torment you with vain wishes, which may seem purposely to ask for your thanks.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“Elizabeth's spirits soon rising to playfulness again, she wanted Mr. Darcy to account for his having ever fallen in love with her. "How could you begin?'' said she. "I can comprehend your going on charmingly, when you had once made a beginning; but what could set you off in the first place?''

"I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.''

"My beauty you had early withstood, and as for my manners—my behaviour to you was at least always bordering on the uncivil, and I never spoke to you without rather wishing to give you pain than not. Now be sincere; did you admire me for my impertinence?''

"For the liveliness of your mind, I did.''

"You may as well call it impertinence at once.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“And I love you, William." Kiss.

"You can make any changes you wish." Kiss.

"Thank you, but I love everything exactly as it is." Kiss.

"You will stay with me each night?" Kiss.

"Forever, and all day, too, until you are sick of me." Kiss.

"That will never happen!" Kiss.

"I can be annoying at times." Kiss.

"Do you truly think me a baby?" Kiss.

"Only occasionally, beloved, and in the most endearing way. Now hush and kiss me!"
Darcy complied with abundant enthusiasm.”
― Sharon Lathan, Mr. & Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy: Two Shall Become One

― Rebecca Ann Collins, The Pemberley Chronicles

― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“I hardened my heart against all the Bennets. - Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy.”
― Mary Street, The Confession of Fitzwilliam Darcy

“You can tell a million different stories about love. Especially when it’s love with someone who’s different.”
You mean a monster?” Coleman said.
“Well, that’s what you think at first. But it’s like, um, Beauty and the Beast. When you find out that the monster is actually . . . nice.”
......
“But doesn’t real love work the other way round?” Kiralee asked. “You start by thinking someone’s fabulous, and by the end of the piece you realize he’s a monster!”
“Or that you’re the monster yourself,” Oscar said.”
― Scott Westerfeld, Afterworlds

“Even from her distance, Darcy heard Trace yelling at Ember loud enough to shake the building.

Kyle leaned up against the wall with a slight grin on his face. "Understand now?"

"Yeah, she's going to go deaf."

"Probably, but she totally had it coming."

"It must be nice to have someone love you so much to shout at you until you're disabled," Darcy said almost dreamily.”
― L.A. Fiore, Beautifully Forgotten

“Dare to push away from your inner thoughts that sabotage you. Dare to expect better from whatever love interest you meet who thinks you should be grateful for compliments or act as if they're some kind of superhero for finding you attractive. Dare to roll your eyes at this person who thinks that pulling a Mark Darcy and telling you, "I like you very much, just as you are," should end up body surfing out the room with a fireworks display going off in the background. Dare to do for yourself what Bridget couldn't do: Look at yourself in the mirror and say, "I like myself just the way I am.”
― Phoebe Robinson
