On beginning my thesis:
We are utterly weary of stories about precocious little girls. In the first place, they are in themselves disagreeable and unprofitable objects of study; and in the second, they are always the precursors of a not less unprofitable middle-aged lover.
From Henry James’ review of Louisa May Alcott’s first novel, Moods.
