Jane Austen Quote of the Week - Week 157
My chosen quote is from Mansfield Park. Edmund is speaking about the possible negative consequences of abdicating your own responsibilities:
"Had I a place to new fashion, I should not put myself into the hands of an improver, I would rather have an inferior degree of beauty, of my own choice, and acquired progressively. I would rather abide by my own blunders than by his.”
"Had I a place to new fashion, I should not put myself into the hands of an improver, I would rather have an inferior degree of beauty, of my own choice, and acquired progressively. I would rather abide by my own blunders than by his.”
I think that he is a particularly moral and conscientious character in the novel and although his view is perhaps idealistic, it is definitely admirable.
I think that this quote can translate to many aspects of life; work, relationships, families, therefore it relates to us all.
