More quotes by L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

"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."
"It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will."
"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."
