Elizabeth Little Quotes

If I'd Been Free To Pick Any Name In The World, I Would Have One For Something Diaphanous And Fanciful, Like Coralie Or Delphine, The Kind Of Name A Grand Dame Gives A Petit Chien. Because No One - No One - Daydreams About Pretty Names More Than Girls Called Jane. And With Good Reason, You Know? I Mean, Even Our Most Illustrious Janes Are World-class Stick-in-the-mud. Austen, Eyre, Doe? Spintser, Sucker, Corpse. It's A Wonder I Managed As Well As I Did.
