My Thoughts about this Quote:

The first sentence of Pride an Prejudice... Famous and startling, making us think with that claim being our first glimse into the life of the Bennet's.

An universally acknowledged truth...

How often do we either think that things are simply so or consider them indisputable rules that we don't even realize we could question?

The rules, norms and expectations of our lives... we have to remember that they are man made... so we can question them, we can change them.
