Quotes:

Emma: I may have lost my heart, but not my self-control.

Mr. Knightley: I rode through the rain! I'd - I'd ride through worse than that if I could just hear your voice telling me that I might, at least, have some chance to win you.

Emma Woodhouse: Has an invitation arrived for a party at the Coles?::Mr. Woodhouse: No, thank Heaven. The Coles are nice people, but we should have to go outside to get there.

Mr. Knightley: Emma, you didn't ask me to contribute a riddle.::Emma Woodhouse: Your entire personality is a riddle, Mr. Knightley. I thought you overqualified.

Miss Bates: It left us speechless, quite speechless I tell you, and we have not stopped talking of it since.

Mr. Knightley: You must be happy that she settled so well.::Emma Woodhouse: Indeed! One matter of joy in this is that I made the match myself. People said Mr. Weston would never marry again, and what a triumph!::Mr. Knightley: Triumph? You made a lucky guess!::Emma Woodhouse: Have you never known the triumph of a lucky guess? Had I not promoted Mr. Weston's visits and given encouragement where encouragement was needed, we might not have had a wedding today.::Mr. Woodhouse: Then please, my dear, encourage no one else. Marriage is so disrupting to one's social circle.

Emma Woodhouse: Was he handsome?::Jane Fairfax: Many say he is.::Emma Woodhouse: Was he agreeable?::Jane Fairfax: He was in no way disagreeable.::Emma Woodhouse: Was he a man of information?::Jane Fairfax: All his statements seem correct.

Mr. Knightley: Marry me. Marry me, my wonderful, darling friend.

Emma Woodhouse: Mr. Knightley, if I have not spoken, it is because I am afraid I will awaken myself from this dream.

Mrs. Elton: I do not profess to be an expert in the field of fashion (though my friends say I have quite the eye) but I can tell you, there is a shocking lack of satin!

Quotes:

Emma Woodhouse: Nonsense, he does not care about Jane Fairfax - I'm sure he does not.::Mrs. Weston: All the same, I should not wonder if it was to end in his marrying her!::Emma Woodhouse: [Emma clenches her fists and shakes them at her]::Mrs. Weston: Do not beat me!

Jane Fairfax: [to Miss Bates, refusing Emma's gift of arrowroot after the picnic at Box Hill] I am not in need of kindness from Miss Woodhouse.

Robert Martin: [following Harriet's unpleasant encounter with the gypsies] I will see them removed from the parish... they'll be out within the hour. I shall make certain of that - tell Miss Harriet she need have no fear, ma'am - villainous rascals.
