The air was full of spices... A Little Princess

If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.

I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren’t pretty, or smart, or young. They’re still princesses.

Hang in there. It is astonishing how short a time it can take for very wonderful things to happen.

As long as you have a garden you have a future and as long as you have a future you are alive.

Two things cannot be in one place. Where you tend a rose, my lad, a thistle cannot grow.

Two worst things as can happen to a child is never to have his own way - or always to have it.

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.

Nothing in the world is so strong as a kind heart.

Everything's a story - You are a story -I am a story.

Only in dreams of spring Shall I ever see again The flowering of my cherry trees.

You never go away from us, yet we have difficulty in returning to You. Come, Lord, stir us up and call us back. Kindle and seize us. Be our fire and our sweetness. Let us love. Let us run.

Even now, I believe that to know how is useless if we do not know why. And there are too many who forbid us to ask.

Elevate those guns a little lower.

Love and mercy that's what you need tonight. Love and mercy to you and your friends tonight.

Probably the most profound thing in the Bible is 'Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.' This is what, to me, is the essence of Christianity.

Art is both a vengeance against reality and a reconciliation with it.

I was not able to stop or slow down the Vietnam War.

I rely far more on gut instinct than researching huge amounts of statistics.

War...is as much a punishment to the punisher as to the sufferer.

As he was valiant, I honour him. But as he was ambitious, I slew him.
