Frances Hodgson Burnett
Only in dreams of spring Shall I ever see again The flowering of my cherry trees.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Nothing in the world is quite as adorably lovely as a robin when he shows off and they are nearly always doing it.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. It was true too . . . she was as tyrannical and selfish a little pig as ever lived.

How it is that animals understand things I do not know, but it is certain that they do understand. Perhaps there is a language which is not made of words and everything in the world understands it. Perhaps there is a soul hidden in everything and it can always speak, without even making a sound, to another soul.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
She did not know that this was the best thing she could have done, and she did not know that, when she began to walk quickly or even run along the paths and down the avenue, she was stirring her slow blood and making herself stronger by fighting with the wind which swept down from the moor.
Frances Hodgson Burnett

Frances Hodgson Burnett
One of the strange things about living in the world is that it is only now and then one is quite sure one is going to live forever and ever and ever.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
It's so different to be a sparrow. But nobody asked this rat if he wanted to be a rat when he was made. Nobody said, 'Wouldn't you rather be a sparrow?
Frances Hodgson Burnett

Frances Hodgson Burnett
Everything's a story - You are a story -I am a story.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
It's so easy that when you begin you can't stop. You just go on and on doing it always.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
However many years she lived, Mary always felt that 'she should never forget that first morning when her garden began to grow'.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Perhaps to be able to learn things quickly isn't everything. To be kind is worth a great deal to other people...Lots of clever people have done harm and have been wicked.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Imagine, if you can, what the rest of the evening was like. How they crouched by the fire which blazed and leaped and made much of itself in the little grate. How they removed the covers of the dishes, and found rich, hot savory soup, which was a meal in itself, and sandwiches and toast and muffins enough for both of them.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
a person who was clever ought to be clever enough not to be unjust or deliberately unkind to anyone.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
She wished she could talk as he did. His speech was so quick and easy. It sounded as if he liked her and was not the least afraid she would not like him, though he was only a common moor boy, in patched clothes and with a funny face and a rough, rusty-red head.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
