Death grows friendlier as we grow older.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Dogs want only love but cats demand worship.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It is never quite safe to think we have done with life. When we imagine we have finished our story fate has a trick of turning the page and showing us yet another chapter.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Thank goodness, we can choose our friends. We have to take our relatives as they are, and be thankful.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I wonder if it will be—can be—any more beautiful than this,’ murmured Anne, looking around her with the loving, enraptured eyes of those to whom ‘home’ must always be the loveliest spot in the world, no matter what fairer lands may lie under alien stars.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I heard someone say once that the years from fifteen to nineteen are the best years in a girl's life.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It seems to me a most dreadful thing to go out of the world and not leave one person behind you who is sorry you are gone,' said Anne, shuddering.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It will come sometime. Some beautiful morning she will just wake up and find it is Tomorrow. Not Today but Tomorrow. And then things will happen ... wonderful things.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
Fancies are like shadows...you can't cage them, they're such wayward, dancing things.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I don't want sunbursts and marble halls. I just want YOU. Sunbursts and marble halls may be all very well, but there is more 'scope for imagination' without them. And as for the waiting, that doesn't matter. We'll just be happy, waiting and working for each other—and dreaming. Oh, dreams will be very sweet now.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Make them do as you want them to, she said. I can’t, mourned Anne. Averil is such an unmanageable heroine. She will do and say things I never meant her to. Then that spoils everything that went before and I have to write it all over again.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I love them, they are so nice and selfish. Dogs are TOO good and unselfish. They make me feel uncomfortable. But cats are gloriously human.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Proverbs are all very fine when there's nothing to worry you, but when you're in real trouble, they're not a bit of help.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Facts are stubborn things, but, as some one has wisely said, not half so stubborn as fallacies.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Rilla was fond of italics, as most girls of fifteen are.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I can't help flying up on the wings of anticipation. It's as glorious as soaring through a sunset... almost pays for the thud.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Why must people kneel down to pray? If I really wanted to pray I’ll tell you what I'd do. 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
But I just went to work and imagined that I had on the most beautiful pale blue silk dress - because when you are imagining you might as well imagine something worth while.
