Louisa May Alcott's Lifelong Craving For Goodness
"At age 11, she wrote in her journal, … 'I made good resolutions, and felt better in my heart. If I only kept all I make, I should be the best girl in the world. But I don't, and so am very bad.' Decades later, she returned to the journal and attached a note to the entry: 'Poor little sinner! She says the same at fifty'." Double X 10/29/09
