“It’s down in your own heart. Religion is in your thoughts, and in the way you act from day to day, in the way you treat other people. It’s honesty, and unselfishness, and kindness. Especially kindness.”
― Maud Hart Lovelace, Heaven to Betsy / Betsy in Spite of Herself

“In the little yellow cottage which had once been the Ray house, lights were shining. It could almost have been home still. Betsy and Tacy could almost have been children again. “I wish I still lived there,” said Betsy, hugging Tacy, partly from love and partly from cold. “It’s such trouble to grow up.”
― Maud Hart Lovelace, Heaven to Betsy / Betsy in Spite of Herself

“Why do you have to study together?” Mr. Ray asked. “When I was a boy we didn’t study in droves. And what help is all the fudge?” “Nourishment, Papa, nourishment,” Betsy explained. “We need strength.”
