"A little boy asked his mother which of the characters in Pilgrim's Progress she liked best. She replied, 'Christian, of course. She's the hero of the whole story.' I don't, mother. I like Christiana best. For when Christian went on his pilgrimage he went alone. But when Christiana went she brought the children with her.'" - Spurgeon's Sermon Notes
