so good to be remembered

Celestial Seasonings usually has good quotes, and this one knocks it out of the park!

"The dreams of childhood...its airy fables, its graceful, beautiful, humane, impossible adornments of the world beyond; so good, to be believed in once, so good to be remembered when outgrown." - Charles Dickens

So true, and this quote has special echoes for me as Thomas and I read Proust. As I watch my niece get older, too, I realize how important children are, and how special a state of mind is childhood.
