Quote #10
'[Y]ou're, as I say, damn you, so happily and hatefully young. Don't at any rate miss things out of stupidity.' (5.2.14)
When Strether refers to Bilham as "hatefully" young, you can just feel the jealousy dripping from every one of his words. Meanwhile, Bilham is all like, "Hey man, my life isn't all that great. I'm poor and I'm totally shy around girls." But Strether wants to order Bilham to enjoy life—not for his own sake, but for Strether's.
