Fanny Herself QUOTES

1 " Then there were long, lazy summer afternoons when there was nothing to do but read. And dream. And watch the town go by to supper. I think that is why our great men and women so often have sprung from small towns, or villages. They have had time to dream in their adolescence. No cars to catch, no matinees, no city streets, none of the teeming, empty, energy-consuming occupations of the city child. Little that is competitive, much that is unconsciously absorbed at the most impressionable period, long evenings for reading, long afternoons in the fields or woods. "

― Edna Ferber , Fanny Herself

2 " She was a strange mixture of tomboy and bookworm, which was a mercifully kind arrangement for both body and mind. "

― Edna Ferber , Fanny Herself
