"Not while I am in my prime," she said. "These years are still the years of my prime. It is important to recognize the years of one's prime, always remember that." "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" (1961) is a short, almost novella length, story about an influential teacher, her students, and her eventual undoing, which still sparkles (pun intended) and shines over 60 years later. It was made into a film starring Maggie Smith, for which she won an Oscar. I picked it up because it was on the Modern Library's best novels of the century list.
