when the day comes that I kneel by your bedside and see your eyes close, or you kneel by mine, it must be that the one who waits behind shall know the parting is not all.

Nothing in the world is so strong as a kind heart.

My mother always says people should be able to take care of themselves, even if they're rich and important.

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.

You see, now that trials have come, they have shown that I am NOT a nice child. I was afraid they would. Perhaps... that is what they were sent for... I suppose there MIGHT be good in things, even if we don't see it.

It made her think that it was curious how much nicer a person looked when he smiled. She had not thought of it before.

Of course there must be lots of Magic in the world, but people don't know what it is like or how to make it.
