quotes by Frances Hodgson Burnett
"Two things cannot be in one place. Where you tend a rose, a thistle cannot grow."
— Frances Hodgson Burnett (The Secret Garden)
— Frances Hodgson Burnett (The Secret Garden)
"Whatever comes," she said, "cannot alter one thing. If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess inside. It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it."
— Frances Hodgson Burnett (A Little Princess)
— Frances Hodgson Burnett (A Little Princess)
" If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.
