Anne Shirley Apology

"The things I said about you were true, only I shouldn't have said them." -- Anne Shirley, in AnneOfGreenGables?.

-- EdwardKiser

"Never intended to break the rules

But whiskey don't make liars, it just makes fools

So I didn't mean to say it

But I meant what I said"

-- from James McMurtry's song "Too Long in the Wasteland"
