More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
I've done my best, and I begin to understand what is meant by 'the joy of strife'. Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
When I left Queen's my future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don't know what lies around the bend, but I'm going to believe that the best does.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
I know I haven't much sense or sobriety, but I've got what is ever so much better — the knack of making people like me.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
People who haven’t red hair don’t know what trouble is.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Steal not this book for fear of shame For on it is the owners name And when you die the Lord will say Where is the book you stole away And when you say you do not know The Lord will say go down below.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It is never quite safe to think we have done with life. When we imagine we have finished our story fate has a trick of turning the page and showing us yet another chapter.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The point of good writing is knowing when to stop.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Outgrowing things we love is never a pleasant process.
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
Anne felt instinctively that romance was peeping at her around a corner.
