THE 30 MOST ENTERTAINING AND UPLIFTING QUOTES FROM ANNE OF GREEN GABLES

Anne of Green Gables Novels #1 - L.M. Montgomery

Among my faves:

"I’ve done my best, and I begin to understand what is meant by ‘the joy of strife’. Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing."

 

"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.” 

 

"Don’t you just love poetry that gives you a crinkly feeling up and down your back?”

 

“Why must people kneel down to pray? If I really wanted to pray I’ll tell you what I’d do. I’d go out into a great big field all alone or in the deep, deep woods and I’d look up into the sky—up—up—up—into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then I’d just feel a prayer.”
