Anne Shirley

"Wouldn't it be splendid if we could only see the good points of people?"

"I'm going to have a very good opinion of myself."

"Everything interests me now; but I notice that it always does when I am deep in a story."

"It's dreadfully romantic to have to die at twenty-three all histories say so."

"I wonder how a person can live so long as Mrs. Lynde has and not get more charitable."

"I felt the strangest sensation as if something inside me was dying."

"Bad luck never comes singly and I'm superstitious enough to believe that."

"I don't think it is wrong to use one's imagination."

"I wish I could resolve to do all my good resolutions in one day and get them over."

"You'd never think what a difference it makes having a friend."

"I have a feeling I shall have a very interesting life."

"I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields that it touches gently all winter long."

"I do so hate to disappoint people."

"One moment I'm desperate and the next I'm hopeful."

"A little nonconformity is the only thing that saves the world from absolute staleness."

"I don't believe real life ever works out according to the story-books."

"I've had the most splendid day of my whole life."

"If you love the very ugly things can you pretend they are beautiful?"

"It is kind of you to say so, but I'm not sure I deserve it."

"I'm afraid I'm going to be dreadfully disappointed in the real thing."

"I shall love the night all the better when it comes."

"The trouble with me is that I imagine too much."

"You were the very first friend I ever had in my life."

"I think I'd like to be a fiction writer too so that I could write out my feelings."

"Isn't there any romance around here at all?"

"Gilbert Blythe just walked past the window and he didn't bow or anything."

"I do hate to take the good nature of the Whites for granted."

"But I don't like Mrs. Lynde and I can't change my feelings."

"There isn't much chance for the poor in this world."

"I think it's time I grew up and was a help instead of a hindrance."
