“He’s so different, and very young, and has lots of faults, I know, but I like him all the better for it, and he’s honest and brave, and has got a big, warm heart, and I’d rather have him care for me than the best, wisest, most accomplished man in the world, simply because I love him!” – Louisa May Alcott, An Old-Fashioned Girl
