Hans Christian Andersen
When the bird of the heart begins to sing, too often will reason stop up her ears.
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

Hans Christian Andersen
Every time a good child dies, an angel of God comes down to earth. He takes the child in his arms, spreads out his great white wings, and flies with it all over the places the child loved on earth. The angel plucks a large handful of flowers, and they carry it with them up to God, where the flowers bloom more brightly than they ever did on earth.
Hans Christian Andersen
But the Emperor has nothing at all on!
Hans Christian Andersen
Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.
Hans Christian Andersen
The sun shines upon good and bad alike.
Hans Christian Andersen
At first she was overjoyed that he would be with her, but then she recalled that human people could not live under the water, and he could only visit her father's palace as a dead man.
Hans Christian Andersen
