Lucy Maud Montgomery
I don't want sunbursts and marble halls. I just want YOU. Sunbursts and marble halls may be all very well, but there is more 'scope for imagination' without them.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
I feel as though someone's handed me the moon... and I don't exactly know what to do with it.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
She asked me what made me do such a thing. That is an awkward question because I often can't tell what makes me do things. Sometimes I do them just to find out what I feel like doing them. And sometimes I do them because I want to have some exciting things to tell my grandchildren.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It seems to me a most dreadful thing to go out of the world and not leave one person behind you who is sorry you are gone,' said Anne, shuddering.
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
I don't know that she is as amusing as she was when she was a child, but she makes me love her and I like people who make me love them. It saves me so much trouble in making myself love them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Rilla's heart skipped a beat — or, if that be a physiological impossibility, she thought it did.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You were never poor as long as you had something to love.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
