My life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes. That’s a sentence I read once and I say it over to comfort myself in these times that try the soul.

I don’t know, I don’t want to talk as much. It’s nicer to think dear, pretty thoughts and keep them in one’s heart, like treasures. I don’t like to have them laughed at or wondered over.

That is the ugliest effing skirt dress I’ve ever seen.

I mean, it’s so sweet how Matthew buys it for her but it’s SO hideous.

Your blog is so fantastic! Thanks a lot for your hard work!

Anything Anne of Green Gables is so lovely that the "work" is easy :)

 I'm so glad that you like it! I had to do something about the lack of Anne Shirley on tumblr for all of the kindred spirits out there.

I just wanted to say thankyou so much for a whole blog devoted to Anne Shirley. :) And I love that you include bits from the novel in addition to the movie. Thankyou!!

I've slacked a little bit with the novel quotes, but once the new year rings in I'll start them back up again!

 The books are just as wonderful as the films, I can't ignore them :)

Anne: If I’d been the boy you sent for, I could have spared you in so many ways. Matthew: I never wanted a boy. I only wanted you from the first day. Don’t ever change. I love my little girl. I’m so proud of my little girl.

DIANA: Of course you would take the long route when you’ve sprained your ankle. ANNE: I wouldn’t think of giving Gilbert Blythe the satisfaction of helping me! Why don’t we cut through here? It’s much shorter. DIANA: But you told me this forest was haunted. ANNE: I don’t think it’s haunted in daylight. DIANA: That doesn’t matter. It’s always dark in the forest. ANNE: Don’t be afraid, Diana. DIANA: What kind of ghosts would you say live in here? ANNE: I’m not sure there are any. I only imagined it was haunted because it seemed so romantic at the time. DIANA: What is it? Did you see a ghost? ANNE: My foot caught on something. DIANA: Charlie Sloan said that his grandmother saw his grandfather driving the cows home last year. ANNE: So? DIANA: His grandfather died two years ago. ANNE: There’s supposed to be a white lady who walked along the riverbank by Mr. Hammond’s sawmill, wringing her hands and wailing. The men never actually saw her. DIANA: Oh, Anne, don’t. ANNE: Perhaps she is now accompanied by Mr. Hammond who is looking for his lunch. No, I shouldn’t have said that. He may follow me here. DIANA: Oh, Anne, I’m scared. ANNE: So am I. Deliciously scared. Mrs. Hammond said she once felt the ghost of a murdered child creep up behind her and lay its icy fingers on her hand. DIANA: Charlie’s grandmother is a very religious woman, and I don’t think she would lie.
