Hans Christian Andersen Quotes

They could see she was a real princess and no question about it, now that she had felt one pea all the way through twenty mattresses and twenty more feather beds. Nobody but a princess could be so delicate Picture Quote #1

I have now learnt to despise you, he said. You refused an honest prince; you did not appreciate the rose and the nightingale; but you did not mind kissing a swineherd for his toys; you have no one but yourself to blame! Picture Quote #1

Then they knew that the lady they had lodged was a real princess, since she had felt the one small pea through twenty mattresses and twenty feather-beds, for it was quite impossible for any one but a true princess to be so tender Picture Quote #1

But what did he see in the clear stream below? His own image; no longer a dark, gray bird, ugly and disagreeable to look at, but a graceful and beautiful swan. To be born in a duck's nest, in a farmyard, is of no consequence to a bird, if it is hatched from a swan's egg Picture Quote #1

I cannot bear it! Said the pewter soldier. I have shed pewter tears! It is too melancholy! Rather let me go to the wars and lose arms and legs! It would at least be a change. I cannot bear it longer! Now, I know what it is to have a visit from one's old thoughts, with what they may bring with them! I have had a visit from mine, and you may be sure it is no pleasant thing in the end; I was at last about to jump down from the drawers Picture Quote #1

Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg Picture Quote #1

Most of the people who will walk after me will be children, so make the beat keep time with short steps Picture Quote #1

Sharp knives seemed to cut her delicate feet, yet she hardly felt them, so deep was the pain in her heart. She could not forget that this was the last night she would ever see the one for whom she had left her home and family, had given up her beautiful voice, and had day by day endured unending torment, of which he knew nothing at all. An eternal night awaited her Picture Quote #1

Each soldier was the living image of the others, but there was one who was a bit different. He had only one leg, for he was the last to be cast and the tin had run out. Still, there he stood, just as steadfast on his one leg as the others on their two; and he is the tin soldier we are going to hear about Picture Quote #1

Never had she danced so beautifully; the sharp knives cut her feet, but she did not feel it, for the pain in her heart was far greater Picture Quote #1

Nothing is too high for a man to reach, but he must climb with care and confidence Picture Quote #1

I know what you want. It is very stupid of you, but you shall have your way, and it will bring you to sorrow, my pretty princess Picture Quote #1

The naive was only a part of my fairy tales; humor was the real salt in them Picture Quote #1

Human beings, on the contrary, have a soul which lives forever, lives after the body has been turned to dust. It rises up through the clear, pure air beyond the glittering stars Picture Quote #1

I would give gladly all the hundreds of years that I have to live, to be a human being only for one day, and to have the hope of knowing the happiness of that glorious world above the stars Picture Quote #1
