Anne of Green Gables

"It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will."

"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers."

"Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive—it's such an interesting world."

"I'm sorry, but I couldn't help laughing at the look on your face."

"I want to take a real, important part in the world."

"I've made up my mind to be a model girl while I'm at Queen's."

"Isn't life splendid?"

"I'm trying to be good, but it's so hard work."

"Oh, how I wish I were beautiful!"

"I love to look on the bright side of things."

"I was dreaming and didn't see you."

"It's such fun to have dreams and the hope of seeing them come true."

"I'm so thankful for kind people."

"I love that dress because it's so pretty, but when I think of all the comfort I've had in this old one, I love it better."

"Real friendship is such a wonderful thing, isn't it?"

"I want to be a credit to Green Gables."

"There's no such thing as an uninteresting life."

"Oh, Marilla, how perfectly lovely these flowers are!"

"I'm afraid of being common or dull."

"I do love to imagine the things that might be."

"Everything's lovely when you think about it."

"There's such a lot to learn and do and enjoy before it's too late."

"Isn't it splendid to have ambitions?"

"I felt as though I had a conscience for the first time in my life."

"There's such a lot of interesting things to find out about."

"Perhaps it's better to be happy than wise."

"I can't even imagine your imagining things the way you do."

"I wish my name were Cordelia instead of Anne."

"I love this bridge. It's the most romantic spot in the whole world."

"Mrs. Lynde says that the nicest place to be is in your own home, and I think she's right."
