Commonplace Book

'...I have had the complaint young, and got over it. I am no more likely to fall in love than I am to have the measles, or any other juvenile ailment. Of course I know that middle-aged people do sometimes have the measles, and then it is very dangerous; they die of it. But the cases are rare. And I am terribly middle-aged.'

from All That Was Possible by Howard Sturgis (Letter XXVI)
