Anne of Green Gables, by L.M. Montgomery

Pg. 57

"Marilla," she demanded presently, "do you think that I shall ever have a bosom friend in Avonlea?"

"A--a what kind of friend?"

"A bosom friend - an intimate friend, you know - a really kindred spirit to whom I can confide my inner most soul."

Pg. 101

"You'll feel remorse of conscience some day, I expect, for breakin it, Marilla, but I forgive you.  Remember when the time comes that I forgive you.  But please don't ask me to eat anything, especially boiled pork and greens.  Boiled pork and greens are so unromantic when one is in affliction."

I know they are both long but I couldn't help myself.  I love Anne.  Her ramblings remind me of my own brain and all her drama and feverishness and absolute thrilled excitments and her loathsome, terrible, despairing sadness just make me laugh.  I was Anne at 13.
