61 " Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it... yet. "
― L.M. Montgomery , Anne of Green Gables (Anne of Green Gables, #1)
62 " That's the worst of growing up, and I'm beginning to realize it. The things you wanted so much when you were a child don't seem half so wonderful to you when you get them. "
63 " It's all very well to read about sorrows and imagine yourself living through them heroically, but it's not so nice when you really come to have them, is it? "
64 " Anne always remembered the silvery, peaceful beauty and fragrant calm of that night. It was the last night before sorrow touched her life; and no life is ever quite the same again when once that cold, sanctifying touch has been laid upon it. "
65 " But if you call me Anne, please call me Anne with an 'e'. "
66 " Matthew, much to his own surprise, was enjoying himself. Like most quiet folks he liked talkative people when they were willing to do the talking themselves and did not expect him to keep up his end of it. "
67 " The world calls them its singers and poets and artists and storytellers; but they are just people who have never forgotten the way to fairyland. "
68 " Do you think amethysts can be the souls of good violets? "
69 " She had looked her duty courageously in the face and found it a friend - as duty ever is when we meet it frankly. "
70 " We ought always to try to influence others for good. "
71 " Well now, I'd rather have you than a dozen boys, Anne,' said Matthew patting her hand. 'Just mind you that — rather than a dozen boys. Well now, I guess it wasn't a boy that took the Avery scholarship, was it? It was a girl — my girl — my girl that I'm proud of. "
72 " I can't cheer up — I don't want to cheer up. It's nicer to be miserable! "
73 " Don't be very frightened, Marilla. I was walking the ridge-pole and I fell off. I suspect I have sprained my ankle. But, Marilla, I might have broken my neck. Let us look on the bright side of things. "
74 " All i want is a dress with puffy sleaves "
75 " She makes me love her and I like people who make me love them. It saves me so much trouble making myself love them "
76 " Anne came dancing home in the purple winter twilight across the snowy places. "
77 " I am well in body although considerably rumpled up in spirit, thank you, ma'am,' said Anne gravely. Then aside to Marilla in an audible whisper, 'There wasn't anything startling in that, was there, Marilla? "
78 " To dispair is to turn your back on God. "
79 " I don't know that she is as amusing as she was when she was a child, but she makes me love her and I like people who make me love them. It saves me so much trouble in making myself love them. "
80 " Oh, but there's such a difference between saying a thing yourself and hearing other people say it,' wailed Anne. 'You may know a thing is so, but you can't help hoping other people don't quite think it is. "
