Quotes[]

Marilla Cuthbert: Obligation can be a prison.

----

Josephine Barry: Emotion is rarely convenient and often intolerable, but I find, at the moment, that I don't mind it.

Anne Shirley: I'm sorry. Grief is confusing.

Josephine Barry: Grief is the price you pay for love, you see. So it's all right.

----

Anne Shirley: "It is weak and silly to say you cannot bear what it is your fate to be required to bear."

Josephine Barry: I beg your pardon?

Anne Shirley: Jane Eyre. Don't you just love it?

Josephine Barry: Ah. I've yet to reach that bit.

Anne Shirley: Chapter six, I believe.

----

Anne Shirley: I aspire to utilize my intellect fully and never succumb to frivolities such as romance.

Josephine Barry: Then you wouldn't be much like me at all.

Anne Shirley: But you and I are not the marrying kind.

Josephine Barry: Ah, but I was, in my way. And we had a full and wonderful life together. I have no regrets. That's all you really have to decide, Anne, to live a life with no regrets.

----

Ruby Gillis: If the key to a man's heart is through his stomach, which it is, then we have to make sure that this is the best shepherd's pie that Gilbert has ever tasted.

Anne Shirley: Being a good cook shouldn't be very high on the list of romantic attributes, if you ask me.

----

Anne Shirley: [tearfully considering Glibert's circumstance] It must be awful beyond measure to lose someone that you love deeply. In a split second, a heartbeat they're gone forever and there is nothing that you can do to change it or bring them back.

Minnie May Barry: Anne? You're crying on the potatoes.

----

Anne Shirley: I am going to be the heroine of my own story.
