I thought it would be neat to gather all of my favorites quotes from the book into one place. So here you go! I hope you enjoy them and find yourself encouraged =)

I love these quotes! My favorite is "Let children have tales of the imagination, scenes laid in other lands and other times; heroic adventures, hairbreadth escapes, delicious fairy tales, even where it is all impossible, and they know it, and yet they believe." I have such good memories of imaginative adventures as a kids, and my own children have had many of their own. :-)
