Jane Austen

One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other. (Emma ch. 9)

It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy; it is disposition alone. Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others. (Sense and Sensibility vol. 2, ch. 12)
