Lucy Maud Montgomery
Here sat Marilla Cuthbert, when she sat at all, slightly distrustful of sunshine, which seemed to her too dancing and irresponsible a thing for a world which was meant to be taken seriously.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
She wanted to be alone - to think things out - to adjust herself, if it were possible, to the new world in which she seemed to have been transplanted with a suddenness and completeness that left her half bewildered to her own identity.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There isn't any such thing as an ordinary life. (92)
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Those who can soar to the highest heights can also plunge to the deepest depths and the natures which enjoy most keenly are those which also suffer most sharply.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
[O]ne can dream so much better in a room where there are pretty things.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But really, Marilla, one can't stay sad very long in such an interesting world, can one?
