I wouldn't want to marry anybody who was wicked, but I think I'd like it if he could be wicked and wouldn't.
Lucy Maud MontgomeryAs she walked along she dramatized the night. There was about it a wild, lawless charm that appealed to a certain wild, lawless strain hidden deep in Emilyโs natureโthe strain of the gypsy and the poet, the genius and the fool.
Lucy Maud MontgomeryWhen people mean to be good to you, you don't mind very much when they're not quiteโalways.
Lucy Maud MontgomeryThe woods are never solitary โ they are full of whispering, beckoning, friendly life. But the sea is a mighty soul, forever moaning of some great, unshareable sorrow, which shuts it up into itself for all eternity. We can never pierce its infinite mystery โ we may only wander, awed and spellbound, on the outer fringe of it. The woods call to us with a hundred voices, but the sea has one only โ a mighty voice.
