"If my children are silly, I must hope to be always sensible of it."
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, chapter 7.
The passage it comes from
The quotation is marked in the paragraph it sits in, with the prose either side of it for company.
"I am astonished, my dear," said Mrs. Bennet, "that you should be so ready to think your own children silly. If I wished to think slightingly of anybody's children, it should not be of my own, however."
"If my children are silly, I must hope to be always sensible of it."
"Yes; but as it happens, they are all of them very clever."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
