Wow, that is a really time-consuming assignment.
The only way to accomplish it is to scan the entire book.

Just to let you know,
none of the quotes will be ha-ha funny.
At most, they are might bring a slight smile to the face.

(See. THAT was my attempt at ironic humor.)

I did a Google search for "pride and prejudice" quotes and here is some information that might be helpful at saving time.

I have found a page of 17 quotes.
You will need to decide how many of them contain enough irony to please your teacher.
