Scrapbook or Junk Journal Page with Jane Austen Quotes

Dragon has bragging rights with the other monsters, begrudgingly admitted by all of them, in that he has had a great deal of conversation of so many famous artists from the past, since he lived during that same time! Hard to beat that strong argument. First it was Michelangelo and the statue of David, and now it is Jane Austen. That is definitely his idea of good company.

He does love to reminisce and ends up creating these gorgeous layouts, influenced by great artists, an excellent library, and his love of gardens. He saw this beautiful Jane Austen quote card among a group of her best quotes, and immediately set to work on creating this junk journal page.

Jane Austen (History Nerd Moment)

We can’t resist a nerdy history moment, so if you don’t love this part, jump down to the scrapbook prompts!

Jane Austen is an English author born in 1775, and she remains one of the most celebrated novelists of all time and there is no hope of a cure for that! I am not sure people realize just how funny she was! She is well known for her timeless tales of love and society, but we always forget that she was quite hilarious. That makes us like her even more and, according to dragon, she appeared to be a blast to hang out with.

Austen’s most famous works include “Pride and Prejudice,” “Sense and Sensibility,” “Emma,” and “Mansfield Park,” but she wrote several others. Her characters are legendary, including Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bennet, Henry Tilney and Mr. Knightley.

Although these books are timeless classics in their own right, the movie industry has certainly brought them to newer audiences with the stories being told by really famous actors and actresses. Here are a few of the men of large fortune and single women who have graced recent versions of these screen adaptations, showing the very essence of love. Are any of these your favorites?

Jane Austen’s work holds up even today, because she was able to capture the feelings of others in a way that transcends time. Her works include great hopes, young ladies, secret affairs, the pleasures of friendship and devotion of the heart in ways that are still relatable, and that is impressive if not astonishing. This is one of the reasons why it is such an acquisition of higher delight to scrapbook or journal around Jane Austen’s novels, quotes and sayings.

Although there are so many to choose from, here are 10 of our favorite Jane Austen quotes to inspire your scrapbook or junk journal layout, along with some thoughts for each prompt:

• Quote: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” – Pride and Prejudice
  • Scrapbook Prompt: Humm. This has lead to a lively discussion amongst the monsters. Some believe this might be changing? What do you think?
• Quote: “There is nothing like staying at home, for real comfort.” – Emma
  • Scrapbook Prompt: We feel seen! Coming from some creatures who have long looked for a home, this one speaks to us. This quote can be used to reflect whatever home means to you.
• Quote: “I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!” – Pride and Prejudice

Considering we have an entire section of the Slowestuff blog dedicated as a book blog, with book reviews and book recommendations, you know we love this quote. Pair it with literary classics or the latest romantancy and it will make an incredible scrapbook layout.
• Quote: “To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love.” – Pride and Prejudice
  • Scrapbook Prompt: There is just something about a slow dance. This, however, can be used to scrapbook or journal about any kind of dancing. Question to ponder: Do you think dancing is exclusive to mankind, or do you think any other creatures dance?
• Quote: “There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.” – Emma
  • Scrapbook Prompt: Create a tender-hearted collage showcasing moments of kindness, compassion, and affection. Feature photos of hugs, gentle gestures, or heartfelt exchanges with loved ones.
• Quote: “I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.” – Pride and Prejudice
  • Scrapbook Prompt: This might be the most powerful, thought provoking quote of all. This could accompany a junk journal layout that is more introspective or abstract for the deep thinkers out there.

  • Scrapbook Prompt: So true. Journal about something you are loving right now!
• Quote: “Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings.” – Mansfield Park
  • Scrapbook Prompt: This is a surprisingly deep quote. Don’t you feel that is especially true today, in this super fast, sound bite kind of world? A great way to use this quote is to scrapbook about how journaling lets you slow down and capture things so they don’t feel just like busy nothings.
• Quote: “It isn’t what we say or think that defines us, but what we do.” – Sense and Sensibility
  • Scrapbook Prompt: This is really a life motto for a lot of people and it can be incorporated in a variety of scrapbook journal layouts.
• Quote: “There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends.” – Northanger Abbey
