“Death isn't terrible. The universe is full of love - and spring comes everywhere - and in death you open and shut a door. There are beautiful things on the other side of that door.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Emily of New Moon

“Children can be the most cruel creatures alive. They have the herd instinct of prejudice against any outsider, and they are merciless in its indulgence.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Emily of New Moon

“Her glance left me and sought the lighted top of the steps where "Three o'Clock in the Morning," a neat, sad little waltz of that year, was drifting out the open door. After all, in the very casualness of Gatsby's party there were romantic possibilities totally absent from her world. What was it up there in the song that seemed to be calling her back inside? What would happen now in the dim incalculable hours? Perhaps some unbelievable guest would arrive, a person infinitely rare and to be marvelled at, some authentically radiant young girl who with one fresh glance at Gatsby, one moment of magical encounter, would blot out those five years of unwavering devotion.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“It seemed like a garden where no frost could wither or rough wind blow--a garden remembering a hundred vanished summers.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Emily of New Moon
