Jane Austen: There is safety...

Vendor: NOVELISTS

There is safety in reserve, but no attraction. One cannot love a reserved person.

Source: Frank Churchill, in Emma, ch. 24 (1816). Emma replies, Not till the reserve ceases towards one's self; and then the attraction may be the greater.
-- Jane Austen, (Dec 16 1775-1817), English novelist; She was known as the masterful miniaturist; wrote Pride and Prejudice, 1813; Sense and Sensibility, 1811.
