Quote by Jane Austen
She was sensible and clever, but eager in everything; her sorrows, her joys, could have no moderation.
Summary
This quote describes an individual who possesses intelligence and practicality, but lacks the ability to regulate her emotions and experiences. Although she is wise and astute, her enthusiasm and intense emotions dominate her life, preventing her from finding a balance between sorrow and joy. Thus, she becomes consumed by both extremes, unable to moderate her reactions.
