Which would you rather be if you had the choice--divinely beautiful or dazzlingly clever or angelically good?

I am quite likely to re-act to the opposite extreme - to feel rapturously that the world is beautiful and mere existence something to thank God for. I suppose our 'blues' are the price we have to pay for our temperament. 'The gods don't allow us to be in their debt.' They give us sensitiveness to beauty in all its forms but the shadow of the gift goes with it.

Secrets are generally terrible. Beauty is not hidden--only ugliness and deformity.

It would be so much easier to be good if one’s hair was handsome auburn, don’t you think?

Isn't it good just to be a live on a day like this? I pity the people who aren't born yet for missing it. They may have good days, of course, but they can never have this one.

...And every day in heaven will be more beautiful than the one before it Davy," assured Anne.
