Pride and Prejudice



"Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity, to what we would have others think of us."

Jane Austen.

I would not dare to add words to these wise words wirtten once by my probably favorite historical character in this world.
What could I add anyway?
A simple opinion that might turn into pages and pages of self thoughts only to bring me back to this exact point: Vanity and pride are different things.

This one goes for you Jane, your story simply amazes me, if you weren´t a writter you´d probably becaame insane.
