More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
Love you! Girl, you're in the very core of my heart. I hold you there like a jewel. Didn't I promise you I'd never tell you a lie? Love you! I love you with all there is of me to love. Heart, soul, brain. Every fibre of body and spirit thrilling to the sweetness of you. There's nobody in the world for me but you, Valancy.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
All things great are wound up with all things little.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Who would endure life if it were not for the hope of death?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Anne felt instinctively that romance was peeping at her around a corner.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
In daylight I belong to the world . . . in the night to sleep and eternity. But in the dusk I'm free from both and belong only to myself . . . and you
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Oh, Marilla, I thought I was happy before. Now I know that I just dreamed a pleasant dream of happiness. This is the reality.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Facts are stubborn things, but, as some one has wisely said, not half so stubborn as fallacies.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I have a little brown cocoon of an idea that may possibly expand into a magnificent moth of fulfilment.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There are plenty of people, in Avonlea and out of it, who can attend closely to their neighbours' business by dint of neglecting their own but Mrs. Rachel Lynde was one of those capable creatures who can manage their own concerns and those of other folks into the bargain.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Walter's eyes were very wonderful. All the joy and sorrow and laughter and loyalty and aspirations of many generations lying under the sod looked out of their dark-gray depths.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
