Dear Daddy-Long-Legs, You never answered my question and it was very important. ARE YOU BALD?

Jean Webster 33 quotes

And if I ever have any children of my own, no matter how unhappy I may be, I am not going to let them have any cares until they grow up.

ЂЋBe careful not to keep your eyes glued to detail. Stand far enough away to get a perspective of the whole.

Jean Webster 33 quotes

I think that the most necessar...

I think that the most necessary quality for any person to have is imagination. It makes people able to put themselves in other people's places. It makes them kind and sympathetic and understanding.

Anybody can rise to a crisis and face a crushing tragedy with courage, but to meet the petty hazards of the day with a laugh- I really think that requires spirit!

Getting an education is an awfully wearing process!

It's much more entertaining to live books than to write them.

I'm going to enjoy every second, and I'm going to know I'm enjoying it while I'm enjoying it. Most people don't live; they just race. They are trying to reach some goal far away on the horizon, and in the heat of the going they get so breathless and panting that they lose sight of the beautiful, tranquil country they are passing through; and then the first thing they know, they are old and worn out, and it doesn't make any difference whether they've reached the goal or not.

Jean Webster 33 quotes

I ate breakfast in the kitchen...

I ate breakfast in the kitchen by candle-light, and then drove the five miles to the station through the most glorious October colouring. The sun came up on the way, and the swamp maples and dogwood glowed crimson and orange and the stone walls and cornfields sparkled with hoar frost; the air was keen and clear and full of promise. I knew something was going to happen.

It isn't the big troubles in life that require character. Anybody can rise to a crisis and face a crushing tragedy with courage, but to meet the petty hazards of the day with a laugh - I really think that requires spirit. It's the kind of character that I am going to develop. I am going to pretend that all life is just a game which I must play as skillfully and fairly as I can. If I lose, I am going to shrug my shoulders and laugh - also if I win.

Jean Webster 33 quotes

Thank heaven I don't inherit God from anybody! I am free to make mine up as I wish Him. He's kind and sympathetic and imaginative and forgiving and understanding - and He has a sense of humor.

Jean Webster 33 quotes

I went to bed last night utterly dejected; I thought I was never going to amount to anything, and that you had thrown away your money for nothing. But what do you think? I woke up this morning with a beautiful new plot in my head, and I've been going about all day planning my characters, just as happy as I could be. No one can ever accuse me of being a pessimist! If I had a husband and twelve children swallowed by an earthquake one day, I'd bob up smilingly the next morning and commence to look for another set. ~Jershu

It isn't the big pleasures that count the most; it's making a great deal out of the little ones.

The more I study men, the more I realize that they are nothing in the world but boys grown too big to be spankable.

Her mother was a Rutherford. The family came over in the ark, and were connected by marriage with Henry the VIII. On her father's side they date back further than Adam. On the topmost branches of her family tree there's a superior breed of monkeys with very fine silky hair and extra long tails.

The world is full of happiness, and plenty to go round, if you are only willing to take the kind that comes your way.

it's dreadful when two people's senses of humor are antagonistic. I don't believe there's any bridging that gulf!
