“There's such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I'm such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn't be half so interesting.”

“Wouldn't it be a rather drab world if everybody was wise and sensible…and good? What would we find to talk about?”
“The wren and the nightingale sound nothing alike, but think how dull the world would be without the songs of both birds.—Miss Kanagawa”
