“Sometimes since I've been in the garden I've looked up through the trees at the sky and I have had a strange feeling of being happy as if something was pushing and drawing in my chest and making me breathe fast. Magic is always pushing and drawing and making things out of nothing. Everything is made out of magic, leaves and trees, flowers and birds, badgers and foxes and squirrels and people. So it must be all around us. In this garden - in all the places.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

“Only one thing made him happy and now that it was gone everything made him happy.”
― Leonard Cohen

“Poetry is as necessary to comprehension as science. It is as impossible to live without reverence as it is without joy.”
― Henry Beston, The Outermost House: A Year of Life On The Great Beach of Cape Cod

“Give the children love, more love and still more love – and the common sense will come by itself.”
― Astrid Lindgren
