I do not believe that this quote comes from Jane Austen's book, even though it is often attributed to it. I have seen sites that attribute it to the S&S "screenplay" by Emma Thompson, which I have not seen, so I don't know if it is even in that movie, but I'm pretty sure it's not really a true quote from the book. If you find out otherwise, I'd love to know, because I'd love to use it as a quote ... but not if it is not real.

The quote definitely does not come from the book, which I searched for it electronically.

I thought I recalled it in the Emma Thompson movie, but I searched an online script and was unable to find it.

It turns out it is in the 2008 BBC miniseries, starring Hattie Morahan and Charity Wakefield. It is in the scene where the Dashwoods first have dinner at Sir John Middleton's estate.

Of course, the line is in the song, "When I Fall in Love." It was released in 1952, and has been recorded by dozens of famous singers since. It is one of the most recognizable lines in music. I would imagine Andrew Davies was quite aware of that when he put it into the BBC screenplay.

Is Sense and Sensibility a good book?

I think answering this question requires a very fine definition of what a didactic novel is. Personally, I would say Sense and Sensibility is a didactic novel, meaning that it is primarily intended to instruct, but the reason I would say this is entirely because I believe Jane Austen would not have written it without intending a strong moral message, and the entertainment value is secondary to that. Nevertheless, the reaction to it is almost entirely on of being entertained, and the feeling of being taught or instructed is almost entirely absent. So I would be inclined to accept an answer saying it was not didactic.


What is the significance of title of the sense and sensibility?

Sense as it pertains to the novel parallels with Elinor's character. Elinor is very reasonable and realistic and doesn't like to show her emotions. Sensibility parallels with Marianne who is extremely emotional and romantic. She makes a show of her emotion and is very impulsive so she does whatever she feels without thinking of the consequences (sidenote: the book was at one point called Elinor and Marianne before it changed to Sense and Sensibility)


What was the moral for Sense and Sensibility?

Sense and Sensibility is narrated mostly from Elinor's point of view.
