Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery
It's about Diana,' sobbed Anne luxuriously. 'I love Diana so, Marilla. I cannot ever live without her. But I know very well when we grow up that Diana will get married and go away and leave me. And oh, what shall I do? I hate her husband - I just hate him furiously. I've been imagining it all out - the wedding and everything - Diana dressed in snowy white garments, and a veil, and looking as beautiful and regal as a queen; and me the bridesmaid, with a lovely dress, too, and puffed sleeves, but with a breaking heart hid beneath my smiling face. And then bidding Diana good-bye-e-e - ' Here Anne broke down entirely and wept with increasing bitterness. Marilla turned quickly away to hide her twitching face, but it was no use; she collapsed on the nearest chair and burst into such a hearty and unusual peal of laughter ... ~ L.M. Montgomery
Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery

Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery
My future seemed to stretch before me like a straight road. I thought I could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don't know what lies around the bend, but I'm going to believe that the very best does. - Anne Shirley ~ L.M. Montgomery

Mrs. Cadbury: Tell me what you know about yourself.
Anne Shirley: Well, it really isn't worth telling, Mrs. Cadbury ... but if you let me tell you what I IMAGINE about myself you'd find it a lot more interesting. ~ L.M. Montgomery
Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery
But I think I'll carry that book into the sitting room and lock it in the jam closet and give you the key. And you must not give it to me l, Matthew, until my lessons are done, not even if I implore you on my bended knees. It's all very well to say resist temptation, but it's ever so much easier to resist it if you can't get the key. ~ L.M. Montgomery
Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery
The trouble is you and Mrs Lynde don't understand each other. That is always what is wrong when people don't like each other. - Anne Shirley ~ L.M. Montgomery
Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery
For Anne to take things calmly would have been to change her nature. All 'spirit and fire and dew,' as she was, the pleasures and pains of life came to her with trebled intensity. Marilla felt this and was vaguely troubled over it, realizing that the ups and downs of existence would probably bear hardly on this impulsive soul and not sufficiently understanding that the equally great capacity for delight might more than compensate. Therefore Marilla conceived it to be her duty to drill Anne into a tranquil uniformity of disposition as impossible and alien to her as to a dancing sunbeam in one of the brook shallows. She did not make much headway, as she sorrowfully admitted to herself. The downfall of some dear hope or plan plunged Anne into 'deeps of affliction.' The fulfillment thereof exalted her to dizzy realms of delight. Marilla had almost begun to despair of ever fashioning this waif of the world into her model little girl of demure manners and prim deportment. Neither would she have believed that she really liked Anne much better as she was. ~ L.M. Montgomery
Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery
Anne Shirley, how often have I told you never to let one of those Italians in the house! I don't believe in encouraging them to come around at all. ~ L.M. Montgomery
Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery
Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it ~ L.M. Montgomery
Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery
Home and I are such good friends. ~ L.M. Montgomery
Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery
I couldn't let you sacrifice yourself for me."

"Its not a sacrifice. My ambition has just changed. ~ Mariah Marsden
Anne Shirley quotes by Mariah Marsden
Anne Shirley. Anne with an e. ~ Lucy Maud Montgomery
Anne Shirley quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Jane's stories are too sensible. Then Diana puts too much murders into hers. She says most of the time she doesn't know what to do with the people so she kills them off to get rid of them.
-Anne Shirley ~ L.M. Montgomery
Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery
But if you only knew how many things I want to say and don't. ~ Anne Shirley
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Shirley
It is only very foolish folk who talk sense all the time. - Anne Shirley ~ L.M. Montgomery
Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery
Diana: "I wish I were rich, and I could spend the whole summer at a hotel, eating ice cream and chicken salad."
Anne: "You know something, Diana? We are rich. We have sixteen years to our credit, and we both have wonderful imaginations. We should be as happy as queens."
[gestures to the setting sun]
Anne Shirley: "Look at that. You couldn't enjoy its loveliness more if you had ropes of diamonds. ~ L.M. Montgomery
Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery
No matter where I go or how I change, I'll always be your Anne. Anne of Green Gables. ~ Anne Shirley
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Shirley
Oh, we're very careful, Marilla. And it's so interesting. Two flashes means, "Are you there?" Three means "yes" and four "no." Five means, "Come over as soon as possible, because I have something important to reveal." Diana has just signalled five flashes, and I'm really suffering to know what it is. ~ L.M. Montgomery
Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery
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? ~ L.M. Montgomery
Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery
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. ~ Anne Shirley
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Shirley
We can't always take the most obvious road in life. ~ Anne Shirley
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Shirley
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. ~ L.M. Montgomery
Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery
God is in heaven, all's right with the world - Anne Shirley ~ L.M. Montgomery
Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery
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. ~ Anne Shirley
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Shirley
Looking forward to things is half the pleasure of them. You mayn't get the things themselves but nothing can prevent you from having the fun of looking forward to them. - Anne Shirley ~ L.M. Montgomery
Anne Shirley quotes by L.M. Montgomery
There's a moment in [Anne of Green Gables] where Anne Shirley (great character) […] is in the same classroom as Gilbert Blythe and she hit's him over the head with a slate, which is their kind of writing tool, and I always say that moment for me was just, I was just absolutely mesmerised. I thought it was so romantic, though she hated his guts. I would always say that in every one of my novels there is a moment where my characters metaphorically hit their potential love interests over the head with a slate. It could be that winning an argument or getting the upper hand, an example in say The Piper's Son could be here's Tom thinking it will be easy, text messaging Tara saying 'How's it going, babe' and her response, that for me is the hitting someone over the head with a slate. It happens in Saving Francesca when she kind of meets Will and Will's such a bastard to her. So they're moments I kind of adopted and I loved that particular one, so I would say [L.M. Montgomery] was a major influence. ~ Melina Marchetta
Anne Shirley quotes by Melina Marchetta
But all morality is of necessity shaped by context. I'm not talking relativism, no. To ignore the context of a decision is in fact immoral. ~ Anne Rice
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Rice
The Dimwit's Guide to the Female Mind might assist your efforts in understanding human females. But it must be pointed out that this subject can be a dangerous adventure and should be undertaken with extreme caution. After all, human males have been trying to understand their females for generations, and most of the time they come away from these encounters looking like someone stuck their tails into an electric socket. ~ Anne Bishop
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Bishop
He looked away as if he were again disengaging himself from the present. ~ Anne Rice
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Rice
The only pain in pleasure is the pleasure of the pain. ~ Anne Rice
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Rice
There is hardly any personal defect which an agreeable manner might not gradually reconcile one to. ~ Jane Austen
Anne Shirley quotes by Jane Austen
It's okay to be afraid. God is not disappointed by your fear. ~ Shirley Corder
Anne Shirley quotes by Shirley Corder
Work as smart as you are able. ~ Mary Anne Radmacher
Anne Shirley quotes by Mary Anne Radmacher
Don't Wait! Start on your dreams, your impulses, your longings, your special occasions today. Because this is your moment. ~ Mary Anne Radmacher
Anne Shirley quotes by Mary Anne Radmacher
I dined upon a bird, and radishes from the garden, and homemade plum jam. ~ Shirley Jackson
Anne Shirley quotes by Shirley Jackson
Don't touch my papers," Uncle Julian said, trying to cover them with his hands. "You get away from my papers, you bastard."
"What!?" said Charles.
"I apologize," Uncle Julian said to Constance. "Not language fitting for your ears, my dear. Just tell this young bastard to stay away from my papers. ~ Shirley Jackson
Anne Shirley quotes by Shirley Jackson
In the beginning were the spirits. ~ Anne Rice
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Rice
How quickly a moment sinks into the past. ~ Anne Perry
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Perry
Do you want to know what 'special' really means, my darling? It means more training, more work, more study, more discipline, more rules. ~ Anne Bishop
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Bishop
But that's the thing about fate. It comes whether you're ready for it or not. ~ Jennifer Anne Kogler
Anne Shirley quotes by Jennifer Anne Kogler
Cricket is not illegal, for it is a manly game. ~ Anne, Queen Of Great Britain
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne, Queen Of Great Britain
I, who fall short in managing my own affairs, can see just how it would profit my neighbor if I managed his. ~ Anne Ellis
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Ellis
He could still escape - the fear was in front of him, and all he had to do was wrench free and run in the other direction. But he kept walking forward, straight into its embrace. ~ Anne Ursu
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Ursu
The deep baritone of his voice, and the words he uttered, held Haley spellbound. Was she beautiful? As she'd looked in the mirror at the glimmering teal gown, she'd felt ... different, more attractive. But would she go so far as to say she was beautiful? No one had ever told her she was - certainly not her grandparents - so how could she think that of herself? ~ Melody Anne
Anne Shirley quotes by Melody Anne
Although the sufferings of children are the worst, being inextinguishable
children themselves seldom have a proper sense of their own tragedy, discounting and keeping hidden the true horrors of their short lives, humbly imagining real calamity to be some prestigious drama of the grown-up world. [p. 13] ~ Shirley Hazzard
Anne Shirley quotes by Shirley Hazzard
I learned that opening myself to my own love and to life's tough loveliness not only was the most delicious, amazing thing on earth but also was quantum. It would radiate out to a cold, hungry world. Beautiful moments heal, as do real cocoa, Pete Seeger, a walk on old fire roads. ~ Anne Lamott
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Lamott
We saw Hulu as an opportunity to broaden our audience for ABC content. ~ Anne Sweeney
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Sweeney
I'm awfully scared that everyone who knows me as I always am will discover that I have another side, a finer and better side. I'm afraid they'll laugh at me, think I'm ridiculous and sentimental, not take me seriously. I'm used to not being taken seriously but it's only the "lighthearted" Anne that's used to it and can bear it; the "deeper" Anne is too frail for it. ~ Anne Frank
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Frank
See beauty in those unexpected places. (she asked herself how people could let Bach be background noise.) See the opportunity in what looks like inconvenience. (she steered clear of the traffic jam and went to the bakery she's been meaning to stop at.) She embraces the undeclared possibility in what seems like just another ordinary day. (her friend is scheduled for cancer surgery and suddenly everything around her seems so very precious.) ~ Mary Anne Radmacher
Anne Shirley quotes by Mary Anne Radmacher
My life
has appeared unclothed in court,
detail by detail,
death-bone witness by death-bone witness,
and I was shamed at the verdict ... ~ Anne Sexton
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Sexton
Silence is better than a fabrication. ~ Tracy Anne Warren
Anne Shirley quotes by Tracy Anne Warren
What people are afraid of can tell us a lot about society. ~ Anne Holt
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne Holt
Her task seemed ridiculous, the result of a momentary weakness, of believing in the impossible, that stories have a trajectory where we find things out, resolve things to our satisfaction and come out the other side, wiser and happier ~ Anne M. Chappel
Anne Shirley quotes by Anne M. Chappel
Your eyes must not determine what you see. pay attention. ~ Mary Anne Radmacher
Anne Shirley quotes by Mary Anne Radmacher
Please welcome our hometown girl, a Winsor Cougar, a world-famous recording artist. Please welcome Chanin Anne. ~ Tim Mettey
Anne Shirley quotes by Tim Mettey
The whore or the saint: these seemed to be the prototypes set up by the Church's historic misogyny. But was there no alternative model to follow?

Yes, for Anne had seen for herself that it was possible to be an independent thinker, set free from the pattern of sinful Eve or patient Griselda. She had been in the company of clever, strong-willed women like the Regent Margaret of Austria and Margaret of Navarre. The influence of evangelism had enabled women of character to take an alternative path, one that offered Anne Boleyn a different future. ~ Joanna Denny
Anne Shirley quotes by Joanna Denny
He had taken George, my beloved George, from me. And he had taken my other self: Anne. ~ Philippa Gregory
Anne Shirley quotes by Philippa Gregory
It is usually easier to see what lies on the surface of a person rather than taking the time and attention to delve deeper. ~ Lord John "Jack" Byron ~ Tracy Anne Warren
Anne Shirley quotes by Tracy Anne Warren
