More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
I wonder if it will be—can be—any more beautiful than this,’ murmured Anne, looking around her with the loving, enraptured eyes of those to whom ‘home’ must always be the loveliest spot in the world, no matter what fairer lands may lie under alien stars.
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. And as for the waiting, that doesn't matter. We'll just be happy, waiting and working for each other—and dreaming. Oh, dreams will be very sweet now.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Satirize wickedness if you must--but pity weakness.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

That is one good thing about this world - there are always sure to be more springs.
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
Tears don't hurt like the ache does.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Why must people kneel down to pray? If I really wanted to pray I’ll tell you what I'd do. I'd go out into a great big field all alone or in the deep, deep woods and I'd look up into the sky—up—up—up—into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then I'd just feel a prayer.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Some nights are like honey - and some like wine - and some like wormwood.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Of all the uncertain things marriage is the uncertainest.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nobody whom this war has touched will ever be happy again in quite the same way. But it will be a better happiness, I think, little sister - a happiness we've earned.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But just think what a dull world it would be if everyone was sensible,' pleaded Anne.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Their happiness was in each others keeping, and both were unafraid.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Don't you just love poetry that gives you a crinkly feeling up and down your back?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
