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
If you can't be cheerful, be as cheerful as you can.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There are so many unpleasant things in the world already that there is no use in imagining any more.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But she had long ago learned that when she wandered into the realm of fancy she must go alone. The way to it was by an enchanted path where not even her dearest might follow her.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I'm just tired of everything…even of the echoes. There is nothing in my life but echoes…echoes of lost hopes and dreams and joys. They're beautiful and mocking.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You must pay the penalty of growing-up, Paul. You must leave fairyland behind you.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The woods are never solitary--they are full of whispering, beckoning, friendly life. But the sea is a mighty soul, forever moaning of some great, unshareable sorrow, which shuts it up into itself for all eternity.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
Reading stories is bad enough but writing them is worse.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
True friends are always together in spirit.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You have the itch for writing born in you. It's quite incurable. What are you going to do with it?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
[O]ne can dream so much better in a room where there are pretty things.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
That is one good thing about this world - there are always sure to be more springs.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair, said Anne reproachfully. People who haven't red hair don't know what trouble is.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But it ain't our feelings we have to steer by through life--no, no, we'd make shipwreck mighty often if we did that. There's only the one safe compass and we've got to set our course by that--what it's right to do.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Dogs want only love but cats demand worship.
