Anne of Green Gables

Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there? But am I talking too much? People are always telling me I do. Would you rather I didn't talk? If you say so I'll stop. I can STOP when I make up my mind to it, although it's difficult.

From Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery 1908.
