Non-Sense and Sensibility

Before:
I would say, "Leave me alone, don't talk about that guy who has been leading me on or I'm going to cry."

After reading Sense and Sensibility:
"From their counsel, or their conversation, she knew she could receive no assistance, their tenderness and sorrow must add to her distress, while her self-command would neither receive encouragement from their example nor from their praise. She was stronger alone, and her own good sense so well supported her, that her firmness was as unshaken, her appearance of cheerfulness as invariable, as with regrets so poignant and so fresh, it was possible for them to be.

Before:
"That was boring."

After reading Sense and Sensibility:
"The insipidity of the meeting was exactly such as Elinor had expected; it produced not one novelty of thought or expression, and nothing could be less interesting than the whole of their discourse in both the dining parlour and drawing room."
