I love you, I thought. But I didn't say it. It was not that I feared she would laugh in my face. She was far too kind for that. My fear was a greater one - that she won't say it back.

Every girl pretends she is a princess at one point, no matter how little her life is like that.

A boy admiring a pretty girl. A rare thing to be certain. But love-true love-is something else.

True love would look a second time. True love would not be thwarted. True love would not accept no for an answer. He would search the world and certainly look again and again in every cottage in Euphrasia until he finds you.

Something with inner beauty will live forever, like the scent of a rose.

Sometimes, unexpected things can happen.

A shoe that fits one person pinches another.
