Till this moment, I never knew myself."

"I know that you could be neither happy nor respectable, unless you truly esteemed your husband; unless you looked up to him as a superior.

Mr. Collins; he believes that Elizabeth didn't really want to reject him but did because that's how females are

"The death of your daughter would have been a blessing in comparison of this...They agreed with me in apprehending that this false step in one daughter will be injurious to the fortunes of all the others; for who, as Lady Catherine herself condescendingly says, will connect themselves with such a family?"

Mr. Collins; in a letter to Mr. Bennet sending his concerns for the scandal and telling Mr. Bennet that he should cut ties with his daughter to help get rid of the embarrassment she's brought upon them

"In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."...He spoke well; but there were feelings besides those of the heart to be detailed; and he was not more eloquent on the subject of tenderness than of pride. His sense of her inferiority-of its being a degradation-of the family obstacles which had always opposed to inclination, were dwelt on with a warmth which seemed due to the consequence he was wounding.

Mr. Darcy/unnamed narrator; he admits his feelings to Elizabeth but her feelings towards his approach are of anger and annoyance
