There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.
— Northanger Abbey
Oh, Lizzy! do anything rather than marry without affection.
Where this quote comes from
Jane Bennet says this to her sister Elizabeth near the end of Pride and Prejudice, when Elizabeth reveals that she is engaged to Mr Darcy. Jane, newly engaged to Bingley herself, remembers how much Elizabeth disliked Darcy and wants to be sure she truly loves him. Elizabeth answers that she loves him better than Jane loves Bingley.

There could have been no two hearts so open, no tastes so similar, no feelings so in unison
