“If you are very strong, you must also be very kind.”
“I have never been a patriot. We are all human beings – that’s been my special pathos in life.”
“Everything great that ever happened in this world happened first in somebody’s imagination.”

“Come in or stay where you are, it’s entirely up to you,’ called Pippi. ‘I never force anyone!’’

“What the world of tomorrow will be like is greatly dependent on the power of imagination in those who are learning to read today.”
“Don’t worry about me. I’ll always come out on top.”
