But please hug and kiss me, everyone, and don't mind my dress, I want a great many crumples of this sort put into it today.

I ask not for any crown But that which all may win; Nor try to conquer any world Except the one within.

Nothing remained but loneliness and grief.

I asked for bread, and I got a stone in the shape of a pedestal.

Good books, like good friends, are few and chosen; the more select, the more enjoyable.

We've got minds and souls as well as hearts; ambition and talents as well as beauty and accomplishments; and we want to live and learn as well as love and be loved. I'm sick of being told that is all a woman is fit for! I won't have anything to do with love until I prove that I am something beside a housekeeper and a baby-tender!

The young people were playing that still more absorbing game in which hearts are always trumps.
