Frances Hodgson Burnett
“He had made himself believe that he was going to get well, which was really more than half the battle.”
Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

Julian Barnes
“There is a German word, Sehnsucht, which has no English equivalent; it means 'the longing for something'. It has Romantic and mystical connotations; C.S. Lewis defined it as the 'inconsolable longing' in the human heart for 'we know not what'. It seems rather German to be able to specify the unspecifiable. The longing for something - or, in our case, for someone.”
Julian Barnes, Levels of Life

Frances Hodgson Burnett
“You learn things by saying them over and over and thinking about them until they stay in your mind forever and I think it will be the same with Magic. If you keep calling it to come to you and help you it will get to be part of you and it will stay and do things.”
Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

Jandy Nelson
“This is what I want: I want to grab my brother’s hand and run back through time, losing years like coats falling from our shoulders.”
Jandy Nelson, I'll Give You the Sun

Jandy Nelson
“I love you,” I say to him, only it comes out, “Hey.”
“So damn much,” he says back, only it comes out, “Dude.”
He still won’t meet my eyes.”
Jandy Nelson, I'll Give You the Sun
