Frances Hodgson Burnett frasi celebri

“Una donna che tira su dodici bambini impara qualcosa in più dell'alfabeto. I bambini sono più utili dell'aritmetica, per farti conoscere il mondo.”

Frances Hodgson Burnett Il giardino segreto

Origine: Il giardino segreto, p. 88

“Credo che molti non sappiano quanto si celi dietro una storia, quante parti non ne siano state raccontate, quanto di più sia accaduto rispetto a quello che leggono nel libro che tengono fra le mani e in cui si immergono.
Le storie sono un po' come le lettere. Dopo avere scritto una lettera, quante volte si pensa: «Ah, perchè non ho detto questa cosa?». Scrivendo un libro, si racconta ciò che si ricorda in quel momento, e se si dovesse narrare tutto quello che è davvero successo, non si arriverebbe mai alla fine. Fra le righe di una storia c'è sempre un'altra storia, che non è mai stata ascoltata e può solo essere indovinata da chi ha abbastanza intuizione per farlo. La persona che scrive potrà anche non saperne mai niente, ma a volte lo sa, e vorrebbe poter ricominciare da capo.”

Frances Hodgson Burnett

“Padrona Mary, bastian contrario,
come cresce il tuo giardino,
con campanule d'argento, con conchiglie
e con una fioritura di giunghiglie?”

Frances Hodgson Burnett Il giardino segreto

Origine: Il giardino segreto, p. 20

“Mary Mary pensieri neri,
come ti viene il giardino?
Margherite gialle fra i peri,
campanule d'argento e lupino.”

Frances Hodgson Burnett Il giardino segreto

Il giardino segreto

“Cose assai sorprendenti possono accadere a chi, avendo nella mente un pensiero sgradevole e scoraggiante, abbia il buonsenso di accorgersene e scacciarlo via in tempo sostituendolo con un altro pensiero piacevole e ottimista. Due cose non possono occupare contemporaneamente lo stesso posto.

Là dove coltivi la rosa, ragazzo mio,
Non può crescere il cardo.”

Frances Hodgson Burnett Il giardino segreto

The Secret Garden

“Da quando sono nato, non ho mai preso un raffreddore. Sono sempre stato in giro per la brughiera con ogni tempo, come i conigli. La mamma dice che ho respirato troppa aria fresca, in dodici anni, per poter prendere il raffreddore. Sono robusto come il nodo di un ramo di biancospino.”
