Lucy Maud Montgomery
never write a line you'd be ashamed to read at your own funeral.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
A house isn't a home without the ineffable contentment of a cat with its tail folded about its feet. A cat gives mystery, charm, suggestion.
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
It's delightful when your imaginations come true, isn't it?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I suppose it was a romantic was to perish... for a mouse
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I like to hear a storm at night. It is so cosy to snuggle down among the blankets and feel that it can't get at you.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's dreadful what little things lead people to misunderstand each other.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Youth is not a vanished thing but something that dwells forever in the heart.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
How fair the realm Imagination opens to the view.
