"As long as you're in the house, you can read as much as you like."

"I want to be an author of world-famous books."

"The sun is shining, the sky is a deep blue, there's a lovely breeze, and I'm longing -- for everything."

"I can shake off everything if I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn."

"Who would ever think that so much can go on in the soul of a young girl?"
