Lucy Maud MontgomeryPoor soul, she always knew everything about her neighbors, but she never was very well acquainted with herself.
Lucy Maud MontgomeryIf any person wants to see clearly just how much she has changed - whether for better or worse - let her revisit after some lapse of time any place where she has ones lived. She will meet her former self at every turn, with every familiar face, in every old recollection ... She will see how much she has gained in some respects, how much she has lost - irretrievably lost - in others.
