On an interesting side-note, Jane Austen has been cited in 27 written court decisions. Her famous line (see above) has been re-written as "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a recently widowed woman in possession of a good fortune must be in want of an estate planner."
"Shakespeare has neither equal nor second. But, among the writers who have approached nearest to the manner of the great master, we have no hesitation in placing Jane Austen."—Macaulay.
"The realism and life-likeness of Miss Austen's Dramatis Personae come nearest to those of Shakespeare."—Tennyson.
"She produced novels that come nearer to artistic perfection than any others in the English language."—Harold Child.
“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.” ~Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
