Weekly Geeks Quote a Day: Wisdom from Anne Shirley

Here's a quote from another one of my collections, as well as from my all-time favorite fictional character:

"I'd like to add some beauty to life. I don't exactly want to make people know more...though I know that is the noblest ambition...but I'd love to make them have a pleasanter time because of me...to have some little joy or happy thought that would never have existed if I hadn't been born." --Anne Shirley, as quoted in Anne of Avonlea by Lucy Maud Montgomery

I guess we all feel this way every now and then...

That's a beautiful ambition. I hope I'm able to spread some joy in my time here... to make someone's life a little brighter.

I love Anne!

Two words always come to mind when I think about the series, Kindred Spirits.

It would be nice to bring some sunshine into someone's life each day. That should be considered a successful day of living :)

Man, are you my bosom friend in disguise? First Les Miz, and now Anne Shirley.. I quote Anne (to myself only, but still) all the time. She makes me happy. :)
