Beatrix Potter

"There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never quite know where they'll take you."

"Believe there is a great power silently working all things for good, behave yourself and never mind the rest."

"Thank goodness my education was neglected."

"Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality."

"Believe there is a great power silently working all things for good, behave yourself and never mind the rest."
