It does people good to have to do things they don't like in moderation.
I can't eat. I can never eat when I'm in the depths of despair.
You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair... People who haven't red hair don't know what trouble is.
Just as soon as you attain to one ambition you see another one glittering higher up still. It does make life so interesting.
I had the most beautiful set of theories you ever knew when I started out as a schoolma'am, but every one of them has failed me at some pinch or another.
I went looking for my dreams outside of myself and discovered, it's not what the world holds for you, it's what you bring to it.
November is usually such a disagreeable month as if the year had suddenly found out she was growing old and could do nothing but weep and fret over it.
We can't always take the most obvious road in life.
But if you only knew how many things I want to say and don't.
I just love bright red drinks!
Oh, I know I'll improve. It's just that my life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes now. That's a sentence I read once, and I say it over to comfort myself in these times that try the soul.
No matter where I go or how I change, I'll always be your Anne. Anne of Green Gables.
