Lucy Maud Montgomery
I suppose all this sounds very crazy â all these terrible emotions always do sound foolish when we put them into our inadequate words. They are not meant to be spoken â only felt and endured.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There might be some hours of loneliness. But there was something wonderful even in loneliness. At least you belonged to yourself when you were lonely.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

The night was clear and frosty, all ebony of shadow and silver of snowy slope big stars were shining over the silent fields here and there the dark pointed firs stood up with snow powdering their branches and the wind whistling through them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's the worst kind of cruelty â the thoughtless kind. You can't cope with it.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
