"And the Top spoke no more of..." - Quote by Hans Christian Andersen

“Each time I think that the song is ended ... something higher and better begins for me.”

“But shouldn't all of us on earth give the best we have to others and offer whatever is in our power?”

“Mermaids have no tears, and so they suffer all the more.”

“Love is the occupation of the idle man, the amusement of a busy one, and the shipwreck of a sovereign.”

“Beautiful coquettes are quacks of love.”

“Whatever happens, just keep smiling and lose yourself in Love.”

“The water in the stream may have changed many times, but the reflection of the moon and the stars remains the same.”

“The true reformer does not want time, nor money, nor coöperation, nor advice. What is time but the stuff delay is made of? And depend upon it, our virtue will not live on the interest of our money. He expects no income, but outgoes; so soon as we begin to count the cost, the cost begins. And as for advice, the information floating in the atmosphere of society is as evanescent and unserviceable to him as gossamer for clubs of Hercules.”

“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind.”
