Frances Hodgson Burnett
Her affection for everything she could love increased.
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.

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
The robin flew from his swinging spray of ivy on to the top of the wall and he opened his beak and sang a loud, lovely trill, merely to show off. 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
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
The Magic in this garden has made me stand up and know I am going to live to be a man.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
You either build up or you tear down. You either keep in the light where you can see, or you stand in the dark and fight everything that comes near you, because you can't see and you think it's an enemy.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Never did she find anything so difficult as to keep herself from losing her temper when she was suddenly disturbed while absorbed in a book. People who are fond of books know the feeling of irritation which sweeps over them at such a moment. The temptation to be unreasonable and snappish is one not easy to manage.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Two worst things as can happen to a child is never to have his own way - or always to have it.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Everything's a story - You are a story -I am a story.
