Life Lessons From A Kid
Today I was reading an article about quotes from children's books, and here are a few I really loved.
“It doesn’t happen all at once,” he said. “You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.” —The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams
“The sun was rising behind her now; she could feel the heat on her back, and it gave her courage.” —The Princess Bride by William Goldman
"How luck I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."--The Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh by A.A. Milne
“‘What day is it?’, asked Winnie the Pooh.‘It’s today,’ squeaked Piglet.‘My favorite day,’ said Pooh.”—The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milne
"Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."--Through The Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There by Lewis Carol“When someone is crying, of course, the noble thing to do is to comfort them. But if someone is trying to hide their tears, it may also be noble to pretend you do not notice them.” —A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket
“If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together… there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart… I’ll always be with you.” —The House at Pooh Corner by A.A. Milne
"Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy."--The Giving Tree by Shel SIlverstien
