Quote by Mark Twain
Heroine: Girl in a book who is saved from drowning by a hero and marries him next week, but if it was to be over again ten years later it is likely she would rather have a life-belt and he would rather have her have it
Summary
This quote reflects the idea that our perspectives and desires can change over time. It suggests that the heroine, initially grateful for being saved by the hero and marrying him quickly, may later come to realize that she would have preferred to have more independence and agency in her life. Likewise, the hero might have second thoughts, wishing for the heroine's safety and well-being rather than being solely responsible for her survival. It serves as a reminder that our priorities and preferences can evolve as we gain experience and understanding in life.
