You noticed that I wore this outfit twice? Why, the only thing you wear twice is a sour expression.
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
One can't get over the habit of being a little girl all at once.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
...a little appreciation sometimes does quite as much good as all the conscientious bringing up in the world.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
[O]ne can dream so much better in a room where there are pretty things.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
People who are different from other people are always called peculiar,' said Anne.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I feel as if I had opened a book and found roses of yesterday sweet and fragrant, between its leaves.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
An old house with its windows gone always makes me think of something dead with its eyes picked out.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Why is it that the nicest things never are healthy?
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
It's not vanity to know your own good points. It would just be stupidity if you didn't It's only vanity when you get puffed up about them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
