Anne of Green Gables

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"I do so hate to disappoint people."

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

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

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

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

"She's more of a help than a hindrance now."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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