I'm afraid you are a very vain little girl." "How can I be vain when I know I'm homely ?" protested Anne.

"I love pretty things; and I hate to look in the glass and see something that isn't pretty.

It makes me feel so sorrowful--just as I feel when I look at any ugly thing.

I pity it because it isn't beautiful." "Handsome is as handsome does," quoted Marilla.
