You see, she concluded miserably, when I can call like that to him across space--I belong to him. He doesn't love me--he never will--but I belong to him.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
We ought always to try to influence others for good.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I must be getting old ... People are beginning to tell me I look so young. They never tell you that when you are young.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
My pen shall heal, not hurt.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Truth exists, only lies have to be invented.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I know you're a fool, Jim Hardy, but for heaven's sake pretend you're not for five minutes.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nobody whom this war has touched will ever be happy again in quite the same way. But it will be a better happiness, I think, little sister - a happiness we've earned.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The little things of life, sweet and excellent in their place, must not be the things lived for the highest must be sought and followed the life of heaven must be begun here on earth.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I have a dream, he said slowly. I persist in dreaming it, although it has often seemed to me that it could never come true. I dream of a home with a hearth-fire in it, a cat and dog, the footsteps of friends -- and YOU!
Lucy Maud Montgomery
