I have just finished the book and loved it. It is full of light and beauty. There are so many great thoughts in it.
"After all," Anne had said to Marilla once, "I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.”
“That is one good thing about this world...there are always sure to be more springs.”
“…I think,' concluded Anne, hitting on a very vital truth, 'that we always love best the people who need us.”
“Everything that's worth having is some trouble…”
'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.”
Do you have a favorite quote from the book?
