I've always been fond of Kipling's Epitaph:

COMMON FORM
If any question why we died,
Tell them, because our fathers lied.


I've never met a teen who was really gripped by King Lear, alas. I think it's a play that needs a bit more perspective. I love it, but I can admit I love it more as an adult than I did at 19.

None of Austen's books is long. I think they're important in many ways because they show how limited the prospects could be for women at that time.

I plan to be in London next Saint Crispin's. You?
