But just think what a dull world it would be if everyone was sensible,' pleaded Anne.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair, said Anne reproachfully. People who haven't red hair don't know what trouble is.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I must be getting old ... People are beginning to tell me I look so young. They never tell you that when you are young.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Reading stories is bad enough but writing them is worse.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's not vanity to know your own good points. It would just be stupidity if you didn't It's only vanity when you get puffed up about them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Behind them in the garden the little stone house brooded among the shadows. It was lonely but not forsaken. It had not yet done with dreams and laughter and the joy of life there were to be future summers for the little stone house meanwhile, it could wait. And over the river in purple durance the echoes bided their time.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Houses are like people - some you like and some you don't like - and once in a while there is one you love.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
Gilbert darling, don't let's ever be afraid of things. It's such dreadful slavery. Let's be daring and adventurous and expectant. Let's dance to meet life and all it can bring to us, even if it brings scads of trouble and typhoid and twins! (Anne to Gilbert)
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
I love to smell flowers in the dark, she said. You get hold of their soul then.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But I'd rather look like you than be pretty, she told Anne sincerely. Anne laughed, sipped honey from the tribute, and cast away the sting.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I do know my own mind,' protested Anne. 'The trouble is, my mind changes and then I have to get acquainted with it all over again.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Fear is a confession of weakness. What you fear is stronger than you, or you think it is, else you wouldn't be afraid of it.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
They keep coming up new all the time - things to perplex you, you know. You settle one question and there's another right after. There are so many things to be thought over and decided when you're beginning to grow up. It keeps me busy all the time thinking them over and deciding what's right. It's a serious thing to grow up, isn't it, Marilla?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
if I can't get what I want - well, I'll want what I can get.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's delightful when your imaginations come true, isn't it?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I am well in body although considerable rumpled up in spirit.
