All of these quotes are by
L. M. Montgomery:
":’I'm glad to be rid of you - you proud, stuck-up,
conceited, top-lofty biped’":
– Ilse to Emily, Emily of New Moon Chapter 12
":Outgrowing things we love is never a pleasant
process."
- Emily of New Moon Chapter 28
"As she walked along she dramatized
the night. There was about it a wild, lawless charm that appealed to a certain
wild, lawless strain hidden deep in Emily's nature - the strain of the
gypsy and the poet, the genius and the fool."
- Emily Climbs Chapter 10
"'The boys like me as a pal but I don't
believe any one will ever really fall in love with me."
"Nonsense," said Emily reassuringly. "Nine out of ten men will
fall in love with you."
"But it will be the tenth I'll want," persisted Ilse gloomily.
- Emily Climbs Chapter 12
"Any human companionship, even the dearest
and most perfect, would have been alien to her then."
- Emily Climbs Chapter 12
"Oh, I am - I am - lonely
- with the loneliness of unshared thought."
- Emily's Quest Chapter XVI, III
