Stolen

My dear friend and neighbor had this quote on her blog and I think it is so precious I felt like I must copy and paste it here. Hope that is okay :)

"THERE IS SUCH A PLACE AS FAIRYLAND - BUT ONLY CHILDREN CAN FIND THE WAY TO IT. AND THEY DO NOT KNOW THAT IT IS FAIRYLAND UNTIL THEY HAVE GROWN SO OLD THAT THEY FORGET THE WAY... HENCEFORTH THEY MUST DWELL IN THE COMMON LIGHT OF COMMON DAY. ONLY A FEW WHO REMAIN CHILDREN AT HEART, CAN EVER FIND THAT FAIR, LOST PATH AGAIN: AND BLESSED ARE THEY AMONG MORTALS. THEY AND ONLY THEY CAN BRING US TIDINGS FROM THAT DEAR COUNTRY WHERE WE ONCE SOJOURNED AND FROM WHICH WE MUST EVERMORE BE EXILES. THE WORLD CALLS THEM ITS SINGERS AND POETS AND ARTISTS AND STORY-TELLERS; BUT THEY ARE JUST PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN THE WAY TO FAIRYLAND." -LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY
