Quote by Charles Dickens

“I am not sorry for the past. I am not sorry for the lost time. I am glad of the great change which has been made in my life, and I am glad of it for this reason, that I can now look back upon it without any feeling of regret, and I can accept what has come to me in the fulness of my heart. I would not have it otherwise. I would not, if i could, change the course of my life.”

“I hope no great sorrow ever will come to you, Anne, said Gilbert, who could not connect the idea of sorrow with the vivid, joyous creature beside him, unwitting that those who can soar to the highest heights can also plunge to the deepest depths, and that the natures which enjoy most keenly are those which also suffer most sharply.”

“As the earth traced its annual loop around the sun and pirouettes daily on its axis, we co-travelers are subject to a host of natural cycles. We can't feel the earth's movements directly, but we see it in the oscillations of light and color, temperature and texture, that sweep through our surroundings. The blossoming of trees, the rising of the sun, the flow of the rides: these recurring events remind us of time's circular nature and create an underlying cadence of joy that we can rely on.”

“One of the best gifts I ever received is also one of my favorite memories. When I was about three or four years old, all the little kids in my family got to unwrap a giant box of balloons. We were overjoyed. Colorful balloons fell to the ground everywhere. My grandparents smiled. All my aunts and uncles laughed, and my parents were happy. It is still one of the warmest memories of my life. My heart leaps just thinking about it. When I became a mother, I wanted to give my children that kind of memory. I also wanted them to appreciate gifts like that -- simple and inexpensive yet meaningful and filled with joy. So when my eldest daughters were five and three, I saved the biggest box I could get. I blew up so many balloons that my mouth went numb. And when it came to wrapping everything, I spent hours fighting with wrapping paper, ribbon, and tape to make it look perfect. But when I finished, I knew my girls would have the time of their life.”
