"The sun shines upon good and bad..." - Quote by Hans Christian Andersen

“I have gone through the most terrible affair that could possibly happen; only imagine, my shadow has gone mad; I suppose such a poor, shallow brain, could not bear much; he fancies that he has become a real man, and that I am his shadow.”

“Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.”

“Then he rustled his feathers, curved his slender neck, and cried joyfully, from the depths of his heart, 'I never dreamed of such happiness as this, while I was an ugly duckling.”

“The earth does not argue, Is not pathetic, has no arrangements, Does not scream, haste, persuade, threaten, promise, Makes no discriminations, has no conceivable failures, Closes nothing, refuses nothing, shuts none out.”

“The sun and moon shine on all without partiality.”

“The mirror reflects all objects without being sullied”

“The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.”

“Nature is a wet place where large numbers of ducks fly overhead uncooked.”

“Nothing in the world is quite as adorably lovely as a robin when he shows off and they are nearly always doing it.”
