The Secret Garden (1993 film)

The Secret Garden is a 1993 film adaptation of the book of the same name by Frances Hodgson Burnett, directed by Agnieszka Holland.

Mary

• I didn't cry because I do not know how to cry.

• My mother didn't have time to tell me stories.

• You daughter of a pig!

• May I have a bit of earth?

• I've stolen a garden. But it may already be dead, I don't know.

• The spell was broken. My uncle learned to laugh, and I learned to cry. The secret garden is always open now. Open, and awake, and alive. If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden. [last line of the film]

• If you scream another scream, I will scream too. And I can scream louder then you, and for longer.

Colin

• I'm master when my father's away.

• Spores are the little things in the wind that get stuck to your lungs.
• I'm coming back tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that and the day after that.

Martha

• When they said you were coming from India I thought you were going to be a native.

• I thought all little girls liked to be tickled.

• Begging your pardon, Miss.
