Quote of the Day

Anne:
"I don’t know what lies around the bend, but I’m going to believe that the best does. It has a fascination of its own, that bend... I wonder how the road beyond it goes—what there is of green glory and soft, checkered light and shadows—what new landscapes—what new beauties—what curves and hills and valleys further on.”

Anne:
Plum puffs won't minister to a mind diseased in a world that's crumbled into pieces.

Gilbert Blythe:
I've loved you ever since that day you broke your slate over my head in school.

Marilla:
Well I'm glad to see that your dented spirits haven't injured your tongue.

Quote of the Day

"I think we grow up as girls having to deal with a lot of oppressive beauty myths. And Anne is a girl who fails by all standards of what is acceptable and beautiful. She's not pretty. She's not rich. She has no parents. But through sheer exercise of will she makes the world understand how beautiful she is. It's her specialness, her ability to transform how people perceive her, that audiences, particularly girls, want to believe in." ~Megan Follows on her character, Anne Shirley
