"What care I if it be "wild and……" — Lucy Maud Montgomery

"What care I if it be "wild and improbable" and "lacking in literary art"? I refuse to be any longer hampered by such canons of criticism. The one essential thing I demand of a book is that it should interest me. If it does, I forgive it every other fault."

— Lucy Maud Montgomery
