Quotes

  • [From a 1912 Los Angeles Herald article, regarding the age when a female reaches her peak beauty] The perfection of physical beauty is reached at about the age of 13. That is the most exquisite moment of adolescence, when mere physical loveliness is at its height, having neither knowledge of its own charm, nor the lure of sex, but is beauty pure and perfect.
