“It does not do to laugh at the pangs of youth. They are very terrible because youth has not yet learned that 'this, too, will pass away.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Rilla of Ingleside

“Hence it is evident that the state is a creation of nature, and that man is by nature a political animal. And he who by nature and not by mere accident is without a state, is either a bad man or above humanity; he is like the Tribeless, lawless, hearthless one, whom Homer denounces — the natural outcast is forthwith a lover of war; he may be compared to an isolated piece at draughts.”
― Aristotle, Politics

“Nobody whom this war has touched will ever be happy again in quite the same way. But it will be a better happiness, I think, little sister - a happiness we've earned.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Rilla of Ingleside

“Gilbert darling, don't let's ever be afraid of things. It's such dreadful slavery. Let's be daring and adventurous and expectant. Let's dance to meet life and all it can bring to us, even if it brings scads of trouble and typhoid and twins!”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Windy Poplars
