"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
Answer Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice sees Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet dance around their love for each other, while stepping on each other's toes a-plenty. The book was a bit autobiographical, as Austen herself was rejected due to her lack of wealth. For those would-be authors, take heart in the fact that Austin's best-selling book was first rejected by a publisher without having ever been read.
