“Where people wish to attach, they should always be ignorant. To come with a well−informed mind is to come with an inability of administering to the vanity of others, which a sensible person would always wish to avoid.”

English novelist of the early 19th century, Jane Austen is best known for her sharp social satire and keen observations of English class and gender dynamics. Her works, including *Pride and Prejudice* and *Emma*, explore marriage, morality, and personal agency with wit and precision.
