Lucy Maud Montgomery
You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair. — Anne Shirley
Lucy Maud Montgomery
When I think something nice is going to happen I seem to fly right up on the wings of anticipation and then the first thing I realize I drop down to earth with a thud. But really, Marilla, the flying part is glorious as long as it lasts. . . it's like soaring through a sunset. I think it almost pays for the thud.
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
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.

My pen shall heal, not hurt.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
