One of the new things people began to find out in the last century was that thoughts—just mere thoughts—are as powerful as electric batteries—as good for one as sunlight is, or as bad for one as poison. To let a sad thought or a bad one get into your mind is as dangerous as letting a scarlet fever germ get into your body. If you let it stay there after it has got in you may never get over it as long as you live... surprising things can happen to any one who, when a disagreeable or discouraged thought comes into his mind, just has the sense to remember in time and push it out by putting in an agreeable determinedly courageous one. Two things cannot be in one place.

Listen to th' wind wutherin' round the house," she said. "You could bare stand up on the moor if you was out on it tonight."
Mary did not know what "wutherin'" meant until she listened, and then she understood. It must mean that hollow shuddering sort of roar which rushed round and round the house, as if the giant no one could see were buffeting it and beating at the walls and windows to try to break in. But one knew he could not get in, and somehow it made one feel very safe and warm inside a room with a red coal fire.

In fact, when she was lifted down from the table and returned to earthly things, as it were, Sara was able to point out to her many beauties in the room which she herself would not have suspected the existence of.
Frances Hodgson BurnettSólo muy de vez en cuando se puede estar seguro de que se va a vivir para siempre jamás, y ésa es una de las curiosidades de la vida. A veces sucede cuando uno se levanta al amanecer, ese momento de meliflua solemnidad, y se sale al jardín y se queda uno allí quieto y solo; y se levanta mucho la mirada, más y más arriba, y se observa cómo muda de color el pálido cielo azul, sonrojándose, cómo va sucediendo lo insólito y maravilloso, hasta que el Oriente casi le hace a uno clamar, y el corazón parece que cesara de latir ante la inexplicable, imperturbable majestad del sol naciente. Desde hace miles y miles de años, esto es lo que acontece cada mañana, y es entonces cuando durante un instante se sabe que uno va a vivir siempre. Y también se sabe a veces cuando uno está solo en un bosque, a la hora del crepúsculo; y la misteriosa quietud de oro intenso que desciende inclinándose entre las ramas, y bajo ellas, parece que nos dijera muy despacio, una y otra vez, algo que no se termina de entender, por más que se escuche. Y luego a veces nos lo confirma el inmenso sosiego de la oscuridad azul de la noche, en la que nos aguardan y observan millones de estrellas; y a veces nos lo dice una música lejana, y otras, está escrito en unos ojos que nos miran.
Y esto mismo le sucedió a Colin cuando, por vez primera, vio y escuchó y sintió la primavera entre los muros de un jardín oculto.
I don't know who it is," she said; "but somebody cares for me a little. I have a friend.
