L.M. Montgomery _ Anne of Green Gables
Jane's stories are too sensible. Then Diana puts too much murders into hers. She says most of the time she doesn't know what to do with the people so she kills them off to get rid of them." -Anne Shirley

L.M. Montgomery _ Anne of Green Gables
- Eh, alta speranta spulberata. Viata mea este un cimitir al sperantelor spulberate. Este o propozitie pe care am citit-o intr-o carte candva si mi-o repet de carte ori simt nevoia sa-mi ridic moralul, atunci cand sunt dezamagita. - Eu nu vad in asta nimic care sa-ti ridice moralul.- Ba da! Din cauza ca suna atat de frumos si de romantic, ca si cand as fi o eroina dintr-o carte, stiti. Imi plac atat de mult lucrurile romantice, si un cimitir al sperantelor spulberate este un lucru cat de poate de romantic.

L.M. Montgomery _ Anne of Green Gables
Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me glad to be alive. It's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting, if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?

L.M. Montgomery _ Anne of Green Gables
When she...walked down the long hill that sloped to the Lake of Shining Waters it was past sunset and all Avonlea lay before her in a dreamlike afterlight- 'a haunt of ancient peace'. There was a freshness in the air as of a wind that had blown over honeysweet fields of clover. Home lights twinkled out here and there among the homestead trees. Beyond lay the sea, misty and purple, with its haunting, unceasing murmur. The west was a glory of soft mingled hues, and the pond reflected them all in still softer shadings. The beauty of it all thrilled Anne's heart, and she gratefully opened the gates of her soul to it. 'Dear old world,' she murmured, 'you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you.

You don't think much about romance when you have just escaped from a watery grave."

L.M. Montgomery _ Anne of Green Gables
I have it lots of time--whenever I see anything royally beautiful. But they shouldn't call that lovely place the Avenue. There is no meaning in a name like that. They should call it--let me see--the White Way of Delight. Isn't that a nice imaginative name? When I don't like the name of a place or a person I always imagine a new one and always think of them so. There was a girl at the asylum whose name was Hepzibah Jenkins, but I always imagined her as Rosalia DeVere. Other people may call that place the Avenue, but I shall always call it the White Way of Delight.

Marilla, isn't niece to think that to-morrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?""I'll warrant you'll make plenty in it" said Marilla. "I never saw your beat for making mistakes, Anne.""Yes, and well I know it," admitted Anne mournfully. "But have you ever noticed one encouraging thing about me, Marilla? I never make the same mistake twice.""I don't know as that's much benefit when you're always making new ones.""Oh, don't you see, Marilla? There must be a limit to the mistakes one person can make, and when I get to the end of them, then I'll be through with them. That's a very comforting thought.

L.M. Montgomery _ Anne of Green Gables
having wrestled wildly with decimals the entire evening before, would be first. One awful day they were ties and their names were written up together. It was almost as bad as a take-notice and Anne's mortification was as evident as Gilbert's satisfaction. When the written examinations at the end of each month were held the suspense was terrible. The first month Gilbert came out three marks ahead. The second Anne beat him by five. But her triumph was marred by the fact that Gilbert congratulated her heartily before the whole school. It would have been ever so much sweeter to her if he had felt the sting of his defeat.

Oh, Marilla, looking forward to things is half the pleasure of them," exclaimed Anne. "You mayn't get the things themselves; but nothing can prevent you from having the fun of looking forward to them.

it would be lovely to sleep in a wild cherry-tree all white with bloom in the moonshine, don't you think?

L.M. Montgomery _ Anne of Green Gables
Gracious heavenly Father, I thank Thee for the White Way of Delight and the Lake of Shining Waters and Bonny and the Snow Queen. I'm really extremely grateful for them. And that's all the blessings I can think of just now to thank Thee for. As for the things I want, they're so numerous that it would take a great deal of time to name them all so I will only mention the two most important. Please let me stay at Green Gables; and please let me be good-looking when I grow up.
