novel stood out to me with the romanticism of the time, "Dear Diary, Today I tried not to think about Mr. Knightly.". Full quote is listed in the additional
Full quote of the passage, but only the first line was used in the composition of the profile portrait in my design: “Dear Diary, Today I tried not to think about Mr. Knightly. I tried not to think about him when I discussed the menu with Cook... I tried not to think about him in the garden where I thrice plucked the petals off a daisy to ascertain his feelings for Harriet. I don't think we should keep daisies in the garden, they really are a drab little flower. And I tried not to think about him when I went to bed, but something had to be done.†― Jane Austen, Emma
