"She wished she could talk as he..." - Quote by Frances Hodgson Burnett

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

“What you have to do with your mind, when your body is miserable, is to make it think of something else.”

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

“I spoke to ears that refused to hear.”

“It is better to swallow words than to have to eat them later.”

“Avoid miscommunication. The price you pay for it is horrendous.”

“When I talk to a few thousand people, I just feel I am talking to an old friend. Like that. I never felt some kind of distance, so therefore, I feel one source of happiness. In that kind of atmosphere, my experience seems some benefit to some people.”

“I've spoken in every state in the union, meeting and hugging the people who later bought my books. I spoke to anybody who wanted to hear me, including 1,000 nuns who could pay me only with homemade bread.”

“I closed my mouth and spoke to you in a hundred silent ways.”
