brains last, beauty doesn't.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
let's not borrow trouble. The rate of interest is too high.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Anne, are you killed?' shrieked Diana, throwing herself on her knees beside her friend. 'Oh, Anne, dear Anne, speak just one word to me and tell me if you're killed.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The only thing I envy about a cat is its purr, remarked Dr. Blythe once, listening to Doc's resonant melody. It is the most contented sound in the world.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
We've had a beautiful friendship, Diana. We've never marred it by one quarrel or coolness or unkind word and I hope it will always be so. But things can't be quite the same after this. You'll have other interests. I'll just be on the outside.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
... we always love best the people who need us.
