"Tidak membuat jurnal! Bagaimana saudara sepupu Anda yang absen memahami tenor hidup Anda di Bath tanpa satu? Bagaimana kesopanan dan pujian setiap hari terkait sebagaimana mestinya, kecuali dicatat setiap malam di jurnal? Bagaimana berbagai gaun Anda untuk diingat, dan kondisi kulit Anda, dan keriting rambut Anda akan dijelaskan dalam semua keragaman mereka, tanpa harus mencari jurnal?"

--- Jane Austen

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Not keep a journal! How are your absent cousins to understand the tenor of your life in Bath without one? How are the civilities and compliments of every day to be related as they ought to be, unless noted down every evening in a journal? How are your various dresses to be remembered, and the particular state of your complexion, and curl of your hair to be described in all their diversities, without having constant recourse to a journal?
