I'd go out into a great big field all alone or in the deep, deep woods and I'd look up into the sky—up—up—up—into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then I'd just feel a prayer.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
God's in His heaven, alls right with the world', whispered Anne softly.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Without shedding of blood there is no anything. Everything, it seems to me, has to be purchased by selfsacrifice. Our race has marked every step of its painful ascent with blood. And now torrents of it must flow again.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Anne always remembered the silvery, peaceful beauty and fragrant calm of that night. It was the last night before sorrow touched her life and no life is ever quite the same again when once that cold, sanctifying touch has been laid upon it.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's the worst kind of cruelty — the thoughtless kind. You can't cope with it.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
