More quotes by Hans Christian Andersen
Far out in the ocean, where the water is as blue as the prettiest cornflower, and as clear as crystal, it is very, very deep so deep, indeed, that no cable could fathom it: many church steeples, piled one upon another, would not reach from the ground beneath to the surface of the water above. There dwell the Sea King and his subjects.
Hans Christian Andersen
A human life is a story told by God.
Hans Christian Andersen
But shouldn't all of us on earth give the best we have to others and offer whatever is in our power?
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
Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.
Hans Christian Andersen
To be born in a duck's nest, in a farmyard, is of no consequence to a bird, if it is hatched from a swan's egg.
Hans Christian Andersen
Almighty God, thee only have I thou steerest my fate, I must give myself up to thee! Give me a livelihood! Give me a bride! My blood wants love, as my heart does!
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
Farewell, farewell, said the swallow, with a heavy heart, as he left the warm countries, to fly back into Denmark. There he had a nest over the window of a house in which dwelt the writer of fairy tales. The swallow sang Tweet, tweet, and from his song came the whole story.
Hans Christian Andersen
No, the light is too intense we do not yet have eyes that can see all the glory God has created. But maybe someday we will have such eyes. That will be the most wonderful fairy tale of all, for we ourselves will be part of it.
Hans Christian Andersen
To travel is to live.
Hans Christian Andersen
Travelling expands the mind rarely.
Hans Christian Andersen
It is out of reality that the most peculiar tale of all is born ... Some call me the Elder Granny, others - the Dryad, but my real name is Memory. It is I who sits on a tree that keeps on growing, and growing, it is I who reminisces and tells stories.
Hans Christian Andersen
Each soldier was the living image of the others, but there was one who was a bit different. He had only one leg, for he was the last to be cast and the tin had run out. Still, there he stood, just as steadfast on his one leg as the others on their two and he is the tin soldier we are going to hear about.
Hans Christian Andersen
My life is a lovely story, happy and full of incident.
Hans Christian Andersen
But a mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers so much more.
Hans Christian Andersen
Everything you look at can become a fairy tale and you can get a story from everything you touch.
Hans Christian Andersen
But the Emperor has nothing at all on!
Hans Christian Andersen
Eighty percent of our criminals come from unsympathetic homes.
Hans Christian Andersen
Each time I think that the song is ended ... something higher and better begins for me.
Hans Christian Andersen
