“And then— I found you the best and jolliest and dearest little pal and chum a fellow ever had. Witty-loyal-sweet. You made me believe again in the reality of friendship and love. The world seemed good again just because you were in it, honey. I'd have been willing to go on forever just as we were. I knew that, the night I came home and saw my homelight shining out from the island for the first time. And knew you were there waiting for me. After being homeless all my life it was beautiful to have a home. To come home hungry at night and know there was a good supper and a cheery fire—and you.”
― L.M. Montgomery, The Blue Castle

“In silence, we watched the water shimmer like a peacock's feather in that shining foil of soft tide in retreat.”

“The sea was an oasis of gold under the afternoon sun.”
