I've just been imagining that it was really me you wanted after all and that I was to stay here for ever and ever. It was a great comfort while it lasted. But the worst of imagining things is that the time comes when you have to stop and that hurts.

Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive-it's such an interesting world.

When people ask me what on earth I want to keep two cats for I tell them I keep them to do my resting for me.

Houses are like people - some you like and some you don't like - and once in a while there is one you love.

We pay a price for everything we get or take in this world; and although ambitions are well worth having, they are not to be cheaply won, but exact their dues of work and self denial, anxiety and discouragement.

That is one good thing about this world - there are always sure to be more springs.

How fair the realm Imagination opens to the view.
