Random quote

Now, I have planned mainly for this blog to be a blog regarding family genealogy, but have been thinking of this quote from an era of time gone by and feel today is the day to post it. I thoroughly enjoy Jane Austen and also enjoy watching the movies that have been made from her books. This quote is from Sense and Sensiblity:

Elinor Dashwood: What do you know of my heart? What do you know of anything but your own suffering. For weeks, Marianne, I've had this pressing on me without being at liberty to speak of it to a single creature. It was forced on me by the very person whose prior claims ruined all my hope. I have endured her exultations again and again whilst knowing myself to be divided from Edward forever. Believe me, Marianne, had I not been bound to silence I could have provided proof enough of a broken heart, even for you.
