“You don't know love when you see it. You've tricked something out with your imagination that you think love, and you expect the real thing to look like that.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of the Island

“Whenever you looked forward to anything pleasant you were sure to be more or less disappointed...that nothing ever came up to your expectations. Well, perhaps that is true. But there is a good side to it too. The bad things don't always come up to your expectations either...they nearly always turn out ever so much better than you think.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea

“Oh hearts that loved in the good old way have been out of fashion this many a day”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of the Island

“Gilbert stretched himself out on the ferns beside the Bubble and looked
approvingly at Anne. If Gilbert had been asked to describe his ideal
woman the description would have answered point for point to Anne, even
to those seven tiny freckles whose obnoxious presence still continued to
vex her soul. Gilbert was as yet little more than a boy; but a boy has
his dreams as have others, and in Gilbert's future there was always a
girl with big, limpid gray eyes, and a face as fine and delicate as a
flower.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea
