Book Quote by Pansy

“Poor old things! How many interesting events you have been tucked away from! But, on the other hand, what a lot of boring you have escaped, or would have escaped, if you were human beings instead of only thoughts. I don’t know what I am ever to do with all my books!” quote by Pansy — Download Open image

“They are curious things, days are; like enough you may see something today that will help you along all your life; and for the matter of that, you might see plenty of things to hinder you all your life.
