Pride and Prejudice was first published January 28, 1813, giving us beautiful quotes such as “I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book!” We’ve compiled twelve of our favorite lines from this famous novel. What are yours?

“I think if I’ve learned anything about friendship, it’s to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don’t walk away, don’t be distracted, don’t be too busy or tired, don’t take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.”

You're almost sleep and you dog curls up to you and tries to get situated to go to sleep and your eyes are all closed and sleepy... And then he kinda makes a weird noise and you realize he suppressed his anal gland right next to your head... At 1:30 am

“You hand your slips to that guy and then you go sit in the sitting room and they flash your number—its [sic] real cool.” This is a great description of #letmelibrarianthatforyou in action! Wanna see for yourself? Visit your local library on Wednesday, January 28th, post your best #shelfie using the hashtag #libraryshelfie, and @nypl will feature some of our favorites (be sure to tag #nypl as well).
