Pride&Prejudice tattoo ideas?

After reading Pride and Prejudice, and realizing how much it affected me - I would really like to get a tattoo of a quote from the novel or maybe a symbol? I'd like it to be small, to go by my ankle.

I'd really appreciate any and all suggestions! Thanks!

    Neither duty, nor honour, nor gratitude ... have any possible claim on me.

    Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure.

    Stupid men are the only ones worth knowing after all.

    Good opinion once lost, is lost forever.

    OK, you do not want to put anything on your wrists for the simple fact that when you go and apply to a major corporation, you will be shaking hands with hot shot people and a tattoo on the wrist will look tacky. If you are really wanting a tattoo, get it somewhere where it can be concealed properly while wearing a suit to work (hoping you will go to college and pursue an education) This is my opinion, so if I'm being harsh, I'm sorry.

    She hardly knew how to suppose that she could be an object of admiration to so great a man.

    My good opinion once lost, is lost forever.

    The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.

    and my personal favorite quote from the book: ^_^

    You are mistaken, Mr. Darcy, if you suppose that the mode of your declaration affected me in any other way, than as it spared me the concern which I might have felt in refusing you, had you behaved in a more gentleman-like manner.

    here are some shorter quotes from the book that i think are pretty cool:

    "Adieu to disappointment and spleen. What are men to rocks and mountains?"

    "Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure"

    "A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment."

    "The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it."

    "It is very often nothing but our own vanity that deceives us."

    i love pride and prejudice and i hope you like some of these quotes! think about how they apply to you specifically, i don't need to remind you how permanent a tattoo is lol.
