Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
You must pay the penalty of growing-up, Paul. You must leave fairyland behind you.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But [sorrows] won't get the better of you if you face 'em together with love and trust. You can weather any storm with them two for compass and pilot.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There's such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I'm such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn't be half so interesting.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nothing worth while is every easy come by.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
