“…I think,' concluded Anne, hitting on a very vital truth, 'that we always love best the people who need us.”

“People who are different from other people are always called peculiar,' said Anne.”

“That doesn't sound very attractive," laughed Anne. "I like people to have a little nonsense about them.”

“It takes all sorts of people to make a world, as I've often heard, but I think there are some who could be spared,' Anne told her reflection in the east gable mirror that night.”

“One can always find something lovely to look at or listen to,' said Anne.”

“That's a lovely idea, Diana,' said Anne enthusiastically. 'Living so that you beautify your name, even if it wasn't beautiful to begin with…making it stand in people's thoughts for something so lovely and pleasant that they never think of it by itself.”

“She looks just as music sounds, I think,' answered Anne.”
