“For a moment Anne's heart fluttered queerly and for the first time her eyes faltered under Gilbert's gaze and a rosy flush stained the paleness of her face.

― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea

“Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.”
