There was once a bundle of matches, and they were frightfully proud because of their high origin. Their family tree, that is to say the great pine tree of which they were each a little splinter, had been the giant of the forest. - Hans Christian Andersen
There was once a merchant who was so rich that he might have paved the whole street, and a little alley besides, with silver money. But he didn't do it--he knew better how to use his money than that. - Hans Christian Andersen
To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, To gain all while you give, To roam the roads of lands remote, To travel is to live. - Hans Christian Andersen
We cannot expect to be happy always ... by experiencing evil as well as good we become wise. - Hans Christian Andersen
We haven't yet got eyes that can gaze into all the splendor that God has created, but we shall get them one day, and that will be the greatest fairytale of all, for we shall be in it ourselves. - Hans Christian Andersen
When the bird of the heart begins to sing, too often will reason stop up her ears. - Hans Christian Andersen
Yes, it is wonderful to be alive! Indeed, the Bottle inwardly sang of all this, as do young poets, who frequently also know nothing about the things of which they sing. - Hans Christian Andersen
At the age of 16 I was already dreaming of having a baby because I felt myself to be an adult, but my mum forbid it. Right now, I feel like a teenager and I want to have fun for one or two more years before starting a family. - Milla Jovovich
At the end of it all, it's my little movie library, and you see aspects of me through that. - Milla Jovovich
Before, being a model, it was just a job, and I was making fun of it. But today, I take my career more seriously. The fact that a reader may buy an Armani item because she'd seen it on me in a magazine is very important to me. So much so that I intend to launch my own label. - Milla Jovovich
Bringing all 45 members of my crazy family together, and watching them argue is super awesome. It's good to do it just once a year. - Milla Jovovich

I did a film [about a con-artist mom and son] called Bringing Up Bobby that Famke Janssen wrote and directed. No one's gonna hire me for their [big-budget] romantic comedy, so it's up to me to look out for great indie comedies and show people a different side of myself - even if it's for three people outside of my family. - Milla Jovovich
I don't at all want to resemble some of these young designers who ask hallucinating prices for rags that are so in fashion now, that six months later, they are old-fashioned! I love vintage boutiques, I love to customize my clothes. And then, with my friends, we regularly exchange togs. - Milla Jovovich
I feel like confidence is something that ebbs and flows. I was given a lot of love and attention from my family growing up, so for sure I had a natural confidence. - Milla Jovovich
