Sense and Sensibility - Austen, Jane ยท 64 words

I abhor every common place phrase by which wit is intended; and setting ones cap at a man, or making a conquest, are the most odious of all. Their tendency is gross and illiberal; and if their construction could ever be deemed clever, time has long ago destroyed all its ingenuity.
