| ce3bced | John Foster says," quoted Valancy, "'If you can sit in silence with a person for half an hour and yet be entirely comfortable, you and that person can be friends. If you cannot, friends you'll never be and you need not waste time in trying." | L.M. Montgomery | ||

| 2010de2 | Have you ever noticed," asked Anne reflectively, "that when people say it is their duty to tell you a certain thing you may prepare for something disagreeable? Why is it that they never seem to think it a duty to tell you the pleasant things they hear about you?" | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 1c31db2 | Valancy, your poor father would turn over in his grave if he could hear you," said Mrs. Frederick. "I dare say he would like that for a change," said Valancy brazenly" | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 91a8fc5 | Don't give up all your romance, Anne," he whispered shyly, "a little of it is a good thing--not too much, of course--but keep a little of it, Anne, keep a little of it." -- | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 4eab87a | We miss so much out of life if we do not love. The more we love the richer life is. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 6a36630 | The "Avenue," so called by the Newbridge people, was a stretch of road four or five hundred yards long, completely arched over with huge, wide-spreading apple-trees, planted years ago by an eccentric old farmer. Overhead was one long canopy of snowy fragrant bloom. Below the boughs the air was full of a purple twilight and far ahead a glimpse of painted sunset sky shone like a great rose window at the end of a cathedral aisle. Its beauty se.. | L.M. Montgomery | ||

| bec945b | There are--plenty--without you." "That isn't the point, Rilla-my-Rilla. I'm going for my own sake--to save my soul alive. It will shrink to something small and mean and lifeless if I don't go. That would be worse than blindness or mutilation or any of the things I've feared." | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 625bc03 | Gilbert laughed and clasped tighter the girlish hand that wore his ring. Anne's engagement ring was a circlet of pearls. She had refused to wear a diamond. "I've never really liked diamonds since I found out they weren't the lovely purple I had dreamed. They will always suggest my old disappointment ." "But pearls are for tears, the old legend says," Gilbert had objected. "I'm not afraid of that. And tears can be happy as well as sad. My ve.. | pearls sickness-and-health | L.M. Montgomery | |
| 2554d9c | but it seems to me there is something beyond words--any words--all words--something that always escapes you when you try to grasp it--and yet leaves something in your hand which you wouldn't have had if you hadn't reached for it. | writing | L.M. Montgomery | |
| 36a3969 | While the others chatted over their parcels Jean wrote her letter, and Jean could write delightful letters. She had a decided talent in that respect, and her correspondents all declared her letters to be things of beauty and joy forever. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| f58a6cd | This is no common day, Mrs. Dr. dear," she said solemnly. "Oh, Susan, there is no such thing as a common day. EVERY day has something about it no other day has. Haven't you noticed?" | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 32c80fe | And as for risk, there's risk in pretty near everything a body does in this world. - Marilla Cuthbert | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 61fbd15 | The long, green, seaward-looking glen was filled with dusk, and beyond it were meadows of sunset. The harbour was radiant, purple here, azure there, opal elsewhere. The maple grove was beginning to be misty green. Rilla looked about her with wistful eyes. Who said that spring was the joy of the year? It was the heart-break of the year. And the pale-purply mornings and the daffodil stars and the wind in the old pine were so many separate pan.. | L.M. Montgomery | ||

| e60cc79 | I never see a ship sailing out of the channel, or a gull soaring over the sand-bar, without wishing I were on board the ship or had wings, not like a dove 'to fly away and be at rest,' but like a gull, to sweep out into the very heart of the storm. | gull ship storm wish | L.M. Montgomery | |
| f5819dd | Well, the Story Girl was right. There is such a place as fairyland--but only children can find the way to it. And they do not know that it is fairyland until they have grown so old that they forget the way. One bitter day, when they seek it and cannot find it, they realize what they have lost; and that is the tragedy of life. On that day the gates of Eden are shut behind them and the age of gold is over. Henceforth they must dwell in the co.. | L.M. Montgomery | ||

| bf228a7 | And then Ginny jumping in with, "So Donald Trump and Sarah Palin are both drowning in the pool right in front of you, and you know there's only going to be a minute or two before one or both of them goes under. Here's the question: What kind of sandwich do you make?" | John Lescroart | ||
| 4edbf8b | One of the most popular illustrations we use in Love and Respect Conferences compares women and men to pink and blue. The audience responds immediately when I talk about how she sees through pink sunglasses and hears with pink hearing aids, while he sees through blue sunglasses and hears with blue hearing aids. In other words, women and men are very different. Yet, when blue blends with pink, it becomes purple, God's color--the color of roy.. | Emerson Eggerichs | ||

| fd31ee8 | Today it was Felicity who crept up behind, gave Jo an enormous shove, and landed her in the pool with a colossal splash! Jo came up, gasping and spluttering, furiously angry. When she had got the water out of her mouth, she turned on the laughing Felicity. 'You beast! That's the second time you've done that. | Enid Blyton | ||

| 3d5e728 | Nina had been told regularly since she was a child that she needed more fresh air, at which she would take her book and clamber up the apple tree at the bottom of their tatty garden, away from the car her father was always tinkering with but had never driven in all the years of her childhood--she wondered what had happened to it--and hide there, braced against the trunk, her feet swinging, burying herself in Enid Blyton or Roald Dahl until .. | Jenny Colgan | ||
| 80ddb4c | Strong underneath, though!' decided Julian. 'There's no softness there, if you ask me. I think Emma's got authority but it's the best sort. It's quiet authority . . .' 'Rita wasn't exactly loud, Martin!' Elizabeth pointed out, rather impatiently. 'I bet Rita was very like Emma before she was elected head girl. Was she, Belinda? You must have been at Whyteleafe then.' Belinda had been at Whyteleafe longer than the others. She had joined in t.. | Enid Blyton | ||
| bfe3bfc | Adventures always come to the adventurous, there's no doubt about that! | Enid Blyton | ||
| 52b9e63 | At the center of the way black male selfhood is constructed in white-supremacist capitalist patriarchy is the image of the brute--untamed, uncivilized, unthinking, and unfeeling. | Bell Hooks | ||
| 1353bcb | Paul and Elder remind us: Critical thinkers are clear as to the purpose at hand and the question at issue. They question information, conclusions and point of view. They strive to be clear, accurate, precise, and relevant. They seek to think beneath the surface, to be logical and fair. They apply these skills to their reading and writing as well as to their speaking and listening. Critical thinking | Bell Hooks | ||
| f0c5821 | Until we are willing to question many of the specifics of the male sex role, including most of the seven norms and stereotypes that psychologist Robert Levant names in a listing of its chief constituents--'avoiding femininity, restrictive emotionality, seeking achievement and status, self-reliance, aggression, homophobia, and nonrelational attitudes toward sexuality'--we are going to deny men their full humanity. Feminist masculinity would .. | bell hooks | ||
| d480481 | In patriarchal culture males are not allowed simply to be who they are and to glory in their unique identity. Their value is always determined by what they do. In an antipatriarchal culture males do not have to prove their value and worth. They know from birth that simply being gives them value, the right to be cherished and loved. I | bell hooks | ||
| 94367c6 | When we work with love we renew the spirit; that renewal is an act of self-love, it nurtures our growth. It's not what you do but how you do it. | spirit work | bell hooks | |
| 390479a | To fulfill that mission, my teachers made sure they "knew" us. They knew our parents, our economic status, where we worshipped, what our homes were like, and how we were treated in the family." | bell hooks | ||
| f37131c | Most folks believe we are hardwired biologically to long for sex but they do not believe we are hardwired to long for love. Almost everyone believes that we can have sex without love; mosr folks do not believe that a couple can have love in a relationship if there is no sex. | love relationships sex | Bell Hooks | |
| e3fee99 | Learning to wear a mask (that word already embedded in the term "masculinity") is the first lesson in patriarchal masculinity a boy learns. He learns that his core feelings cannot be expressed if they do not conform to the acceptable behaviors sexism defines as male. Asked to give up the true self in order to realize the patriarchal ideal, boys learn self-betrayal early and are rewarded for these acts of soul murder. Therapist John Bradshaw.. | bell hooks | ||
| 7ce5364 | Working with students and families from diverse class backgrounds, I am constantly amazed at how difficult it is to cross boundaries in this white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchal society. And it is obviously most difficult for individuals who lack material privilege or higher levels of education to make the elaborate shifts in location, thought, and life experience cultural critics talk and write about as though it is only a matter of .. | Bell Hooks | ||
