Beatrix Potter Quotations

 Because you are fond of fairy-tales, and have been ill, I have
    made you a story all for yourself–a new one that nobody has
    read before._

    And the queerest thing about it is–that I heard it in
    Gloucestershire, and that it is true–at least about the tailor,

• I hate publicity, and I have contrived to survive to be an old woman without it, except in the homey atmosphere of Agricultural Shows. [1939 interview]
• Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.

• Most people, after one success, are so cringingly afraid of doing less well that they rub all the edge off their subsequent work.

• All outward forms of religion are almost useless, and are the causes of endless strife. . . . Believe there is a great power silently working all things for good, behave yourself and never mind the rest. [Journals 1881-1897]

• I cannot rest, I must draw, however poor the result, and when I have a bad time come over me it is a stronger desire than ever. [Journals]

• I hold an old-fashioned notion that a happy marriage is the crown of a woman’s life. [Journals 1894]

• Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were — Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter. They lived with their Mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big tree. [The Tale of Peter Rabbit]

• Don’t go into Mr. McGregor’s garden: your Father had an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor. [The Tale of Peter Rabbit]

We will be keeping you up to date with all the news and happenings of the House of the Tailor of Gloucester here.

For those of you who dont know about us, The House of the Tailor of Gloucester shop and museum is based in Westgate Street Gloucester, in the original building that inspired Beatrix Potter’s story of the Tailor of Gloucester. It is run by volunteers in the historic city of Gloucester.
