Jane Austen Quote tattoo - thoughts?

Question

I finally figured out which quote I wanted for a tattoo. It is from Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice: "Til this moment I never knew myself"  I was thinking of taking a letter written by Jane Austen to her sister and asking my tattoo artist to duplicate Jane Austen's handwriting to be the script for my quote tattoo. I wanted to put it on my left leg, above my ankle - but not wrap around my leg. I hate the type-writer faces from people trying to read or look at tattoos that wrap around the leg. But I was wondering what more I could do with it? Add "Jane Austen" or "Pride&Prejudice" or even just "P&P" underneath the quote - but now I'm not so sure.

Suggestions???

Sounds good, but I wouldn't put anything else with it. Just the quote. You tell people the origin and meaning when they ask about it.

Hmm, maybe a nice, simple little design? You know, a few curvy lines beneath it, or something like that. :) I wouldn't put 'Jane Austen' or 'Pride and Prejudice'... MAYBE P&P, but I think you should stick with just the quote.
