“When you will not fly into a passion people know you are stronger than they are, because you are strong enough to hold in your rage, and they are not, and they say stupid things they wish they hadn't said afterward.

― Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess

― Frances Hodgson Burnett

“Everything's a story - You are a story -I am a story.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess

“Somehow, something always happens just before things get to the very worst. It is as if Magic did it. If I could only just remember that always. The worse thing never quite comes.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess
