The author of the Webs of Significance blog commented on my Gnooks post and, on checking out her blog, I came across this quote from a Malory Towers book. Pretty cool, don't you think?
Add a Comment"I want you all to listen to me for a minute or two. One day you will leave this school and go out into the world as young women. You should take with you eager minds, kind hearts and a will to help. You should take with you a good understanding of many things and a willingness to accept responsibility, and show yourselves as women to be loved and trusted. All these things you will be able to learn at Malory Towers -- if you will.
I do not count as our successes those who have good scholarships and passed exams, though these are good things to do. I count as our successes those who learn to be good-hearted and kind, sensible and trustable, good, sound women the world can lean on. Our failures are those who do not learn these things in the years they are here...
Some of you will find it easy to learn these things, others will find it hard...But, easy or hard, they must be learnt if you are to be happy after you leave here, and if you are to bring happiness to others. " - Miss Grayling,headmistress of Malory Towers, the girls boarding school in Enid Blyton's series. (From the Webs of Significance post Favourite Female Authors Follow-up Post.)

The last two quotes are extra good, I think! I have someone in mind who I want to see these. I don’t usually forward him blog posts. That’s how good these are! Thanks for sharing such terrific quotes for us to enjoy.

I’m so glad they spoke to you, my friend. I especially love the one about the soul v. body.
