Austen citing:
Amanda Hooten in an SMH's Good Weekend magazine article, The Getting of Wisdom

Amanda Hooten in an article entitled The Getting of Wisdom cites these wishes:

‘There are several things in life I would love to be. Rich, famous, witty, slim. And just in case, by some cruel twist of fate, these things escape me, I also have one non-frivolous ambition ... Some day, in some way, I might actually be well read.

‘The possibility of silencing an entire dinner party with the perfect quote from Persuasion has always been, I must admit, pretty appealing.’

From The Sydney Morning Herald's 'Good Weekend' magazine, 9 February  2002
