Lucy Maud Montgomery
I wouldn't want to marry anybody who was wicked, but I think I'd like it if he could be wicked and wouldn't.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I must get out all my ambitions and dust them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Yes, it's beautiful,' said Gilbert, looking steadily down into Anne's uplifted face, 'but wouldn't it have been more beautiful still, Anne, if there had been no separation or misunderstanding . . . if they had come hand in hand all the way through life, with no memories behind them but those which belonged to each other?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
