“Oh, but there's such a difference between saying a thing yourself and hearing other people say it,' wailed Anne. 'You may know a thing is so, but you can't help hoping other people don't quite think it is.”

“Mr. Harrison was certainly different from other people…and that is the essential characteristic of a crank, as everybody knows.”

“Having adventures comes natural to some people", said Anne serenely. "You just have a gift for them or you haven't.”

“But if you call me Anne, please call me Anne with an 'e'.”

“It was really dreadful to be so different from other people…and yet rather wonderful, too, as if you were a being strayed from another star.”
