"Abraham King smiled and, being a man of few words, said nothing;
but in his mind he had a vision of the years to be, and in that vision
he saw, not rippling acres of harvest gold, but great, leafy avenues of
wide spreading
trees laden with fruit to gladden the eyes of children and grandchildren
yet unborn" - The Story Girl
"We left at sunrise the next morning; there was a sunshine that morning,
for a wonder. The sun came up in a pinky-saffron sky that promised
us a find day." -From the short story "How We Went To The Wedding" which
can be found in the book - "Against the Odds"
"I belong to you and the sea. But I never knew until I crossed
the harbour tonight. Then I knew - it came to me
all at once, like a flood of understanding. I knew that I
could never go away again - that I must stay here forever where I could
hear the call of the wind and waves. The new life was good - good
- but it could not go deep enough." The MMagical Bond of the Sea
from the book "Along the Shore"
"From quiet homes and first beginning,
Out to the undiscovered ends,
There's nothing worth the wear of winning,
But laughter and the love of friends."

Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953)English writer, poet "Dedicatory Ode."
~ "But wherever they go, all the young people of Avonlea, the memory of this place, the people, the land, the sea, these things will never be forgotten, but will remain in our hearts forever." ~ Road to Avonlea

"They captured in their ramble all the mysteries and magic of a March
evening. Very still and mild it was, wrapped with great white, boding
silence - a silence which was yet threaded through with many little silvery
sounds which
you could hear if you hearkened as much with your soul as your ears.
The girls wandered down a long pine land aisle that seemed to lead right
out into the heart of a deep red, overflowing wintry sunset." -Anne
of the Island
