Not even close

Jane Austen scholar Deborah Yaffe periodically adds to her ongoing list of misattributed Austen quotes. While I'm used to seeing people quoting Austen in an out-of-context manner (you would not believe how many people soulfully quote Miss Bingley's sycophantic speech about reading, thinking it was meant in earnest), these "quotations" are new to me. And frankly, none of them sound even remotely like Austen.
