PL Travers (Helen Lyndon Goff), creator of Mary Poppins, was born on this date in 1899. 10 quotes from her:
- Every child needs to have for itself not only its loving parents and siblings and friends of its own age, but a grown-up friend.
- Don't you know that everybody's got a Fairyland of their own?
- What is real and what is not? Can you tell me or I you? Perhaps we shall never know more than this—that to think a thing is to make it true.
- We're on the brink of an Adventure. Don't spoil it by asking questions!
- Trouble trouble and it will trouble you!
- You do not chop off a section of your imaginative substance and make a book specifically for children, for – if you are honest – you have no idea where childhood ends and maturity begins. It is all endless and all one.
- More and more I’ve become convinced that the great treasure to possess is the unknown.
- There are worlds beyond worlds and times beyond times, all of them true, all of them real, and all of them (as children know) penetrating each other.
- Bird and beast and stone and star — we are all one.
- It is only through the ordinary that the extraordinary can make itself perceived.
