Secret Garden Quotes

I loved Frances Hodgson Burnett, who wrote ‘The Little Princess’ and ‘The Secret Garden.’ And I loved the ‘Little House on the Prairie’ books by Laura Ingalls Wilder Picture Quote #1

I cut a lot of cringy sex stuff and a lot of stuff I thought was too personal. I think secret gardens are very special. I think we all have to have them. I think the secret of memoirs is keeping those parts of yourself off the page, which makes what you do share more valuable Picture Quote #1

A lot of times, when I go back to books I loved when I was young, I don’t quite understand what it was that I loved about them. Rereading ‘The Secret Garden,’ I felt a lot like Mary feels when she visits her garden Picture Quote #1

My parents offered me my first camera for my birthday and I developed an exclusive passion for it over the years. Since I was not the most social kid on the block, the camera helped me to express myself, invent my own language - something like a secret garden. I decided early on I would not write in a diary but take silent photographs instead Picture Quote #1

I’m waxed clean - hairless as the day as I was born. But don’t say ‘Tia has no pubic hair.’ That’s so clinical. Use a nice euphemism. Say ‘She’s mowed her secret garden’ or ‘She’s cleared the way to the Promised Land.’ Because that’s what it is, right? Picture Quote #1

In our not-yet-acknowledged secret garden lie the seeds of some of our best not-yet-written stories Picture Quote #1

The first season of ‘Community’ stumbled a bit because the plotlines too often veered into realism, but that is not a problem anymore. Not when prize episodes concern a campuswide blanket fort, or a secret garden with a magic trampoline Picture Quote #1

She wished she could talk as he did. His speech was so quick and easy. It sounded as if he liked her and was not the least afraid she would not like him, though he was only a common moor boy, in patched clothes and with a funny face and a rough, rusty-red head Picture Quote #1

And the secret garden bloomed and bloomed and every morning revealed new miracles Picture Quote #1

Everyone should cultivate a secret garden Picture Quote #1

Her heart was a secret garden and the walls were very high Picture Quote #1

As she came closer to him she noticed that there was a clean fresh scent of heather and grass and leaves about him, almost as if he were made of them. She liked it very much and when she looked into his funny face with the red cheeks and round blue eyes she forgot that she had felt shy Picture Quote #1

It is an old dream: To travel on the back of a benevolent sea beast down to some secret underwater garden Picture Quote #1

Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend... When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present - love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure - the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on Earth Picture Quote #1

I’ve reread ‘The Secret Garden’ every year as an adult. I have a battered copy on my bookshelf - it’s really quite a mess! The experience of reading the novel keeps deepening for me Picture Quote #1

A beard on a man is only a way of hiding something, his face of course, but also the inner matters, like a hedge around a secret garden, or a cover over a bird cage Picture Quote #1

Reading can be a road to freedom or a key to a secret garden, which, if tended, will transform all of life Picture Quote #1

Those of faith who plant sacred thoughts in the uplands of time, the secret gardeners of the Lord in mankind's desolate hopes, may slacken and tarry but rarely betray their vocation Picture Quote #1
