Quotes of Movie: Anne of Green Gables [1985]
|
My life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes. That's a sentence I read once and I say it over to comfort myself in these times that try the soul. This is the most tragical thing that has ever happened to me. Make a little room in your plans for romance again, Anne, girl. All the degrees and scholarships in the world can't make up for the lack of it. Tell me what you know about yourself. Anne Shirley: Well, it really isn't worth telling, Mrs. Cadbury... but if you let me tell you what I IMAGINE about myself you'd find it a lot more interesting. | |

Can't you even IMAGINE you're in the depths of despair? Marilla Cuthbert: No I cannot. To despair is to turn your back on God. Mrs. Hammond told me that God made my hair red on purpose and I've never cared for Him since. Don't you ever imagine things differently from what they are? Marilla Cuthbert: No. Anne Shirley: Oh Marilla, how much you miss. Marilla Cuthbert: If she can avoid catastrophe two days in a row, I might have a chance to make up my mind. Anne Shirley: I thought nothing could be as bad as red hair. Green is ten times worse. Diana Barry: Just say one word and tell me if you're killed! Anne Shirley: No... but I think I've been rendered unconscious. I don't think Mrs. Barry is a well-bred woman. I don't believe God himself would entirely meet with her approval. Marilla Cuthbert: Anne, you musn't say things like that... especially in front of the minister's wife. But, if you left God out of it, you'd have it just about right. Anne Shirley: Farewell, my beloved friend. Henceforth, we must be strangers living side by side... but my heart will be ever faithful to thee. Tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it. I know I chatter on far too much... but if you only knew how many things I want to say and don't. Give me SOME credit. Ruby Gillis says when she grows up, she wants to have a line of beaus on a string and make them crazy for her. I'd rather have ONE in his rightful mind. Anne Shirley: I think I would probably come to the conclusion that I'd like it for a while... but in the end, I'd still prefer the sound of the wind in the firs across the brook more than the tinkling of crystal. I like people who make me like them. Saves me so much trouble forcing myself to like them. Wealth can be very empty when you don't have someone to share it with. But by the time I realized that, no one would have me... except men who wanted my money more than I did. Marilla Cuthbert: As Rachel Lynde used to say, the sun will go on rising and setting whether I fail in Geometry or not. I think I'd rather it didn't go on if I failed. Anne Shirley: Tears don't hurt like the ache does. I wish I were rich, and I could spend the whole summer at a hotel, eating ice cream and chicken salad. Anne Shirley: You know something, Diana? We are rich. We have sixteen years to our credit, and we both have wonderful imaginations. We should be as happy as queens. [gestures to the setting sun] Anne Shirley: Look at that. You couldn't enjoy its loveliness more if you had ropes of diamonds. Diana Barry: I don't know about that. And I promise I'll never do it again. That's the one good thing about me. I never do the same wrong thing twice. Rachel Lynde: Mark my words, Marilla. That's the kind puts strychnine in the well. Rachel Lynde: Her tongue appears to be hinged in the middle, but she may turn out all right. Gilbert Blythe: Anne Shirley. What in heck are you doing here? Anne Shirley: [trying to be diganified] Fishing. For lake trout. | |
