] I am convinced that Jane Austen somewhere wrote words to the effect of " an attachment between two people always(often?) arises from a slight preference on one side and gratitude on the other" Because of it's so applicable to NA, I always associated it with this book - but it's not there. So where did I get this idea?

I think this paragraph from Henry's proposal to Catherine may be the part you were thinking of...
From Chapter 30 of Northanger Abbey I quote...
"...Though Henry was now sincerely attached to her - though he felt and delighted in all the excellencies of her character, and truly loved her society - I must confess that his affection originated in nothing better than gratitude; or, in other words, that a persuasion of her partiality for him had been the only cause of giving her a serious thought."
