Quotes 

• Emma Woodhouse : [of Mr. Elton]  He always was a small man. Made smaller by his wife.

• Emma : [about Frank's absence]  He has urgent business... He has gone to London... to have his haircut.

  Mr. Knightley : His hair cut?

  [Sarcastically] 

  Mr. Knightley : Of course imperative business indeed.

• Emma : A gentleman would never risk a lady's reputation.

• Emma : My career in matchmaking, such as it was, is over.

• Emma : We have heard that you are very musical, Mrs. Elton.

  Mrs. Elton : Oh, I dote on it, dote! As I said to Mr. E, "Don't give me two carriages, don't give me enormous houses, but I could not live without music." No. Life would be a blank to me.

• Emma : I was completely mistaken in Mr. Elton. There is a littleness about him which you saw and I did not. He always was a small man, made smaller by his wife! I was convinced he was in love with Harriet. How could I have been so stupid?

  Mr. Knightley : I will do you the justice of saying that you would have chosen better for him than he did for himself. Miss Smith has some first-rate qualities, infinitely preferable to a sensible man than Mrs. Elton. I was surprised by our conversation.

• Harriet Smith : Miss Woodhouse, I will never marry.

  Emma : Oh, this is a new philosophy.

• Emma : We know how highly you think of Jane Fairfax.

  Mr. Knightley : Anyone may know how highly I think of Miss Fairfax.

  Emma : And yet, you may not be aware how highly. The extent of your admiration may take you by surprise one day.
