― Mikko Rimminen, Pussikaljaromaani

“The trouble with you, Anne, is that you're thinking too much about yourself. You should just think of Mrs. Allan and what would be nicest and most agreeable to her," said Marilla, hitting for once in her life on a very sound and pithy piece of advice. Anne instantly realized this.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
