But he could not find it out.
Hans Christian Andersen

Hans Christian Andersen
Does all the beauty of the world stop when you die? No, said the Old Oak it will last much longer - longer than I can even think of. Well, then, said the little May-fly, we have the same time to live only we reckon differently.
Hans Christian Andersen
We haven't yet got eyes that can gaze into all the splendour that God has created, but we shall get them one day and that will be the finest fairy tale of all, for we shall be in it ourselves.
Hans Christian Andersen
It was clear to me, as I glanced back over my earlier life, that a loving Providence watched over me, that all was directed for me by a higher power.
Hans Christian Andersen
But a mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers so much more.
Hans Christian Andersen
When the bird of the heart begins to sing, too often will reason stop up her ears.
Hans Christian Andersen
