Lucy Maud Montgomery
There isn't any such thing as an ordinary life. (92)
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I'd like to add some beauty to life, said Anne dreamily. I don't exactly want to make people KNOW more... though I know that IS the noblest ambition... but I'd love to make them have a pleasanter time because of me... to have some little joy or happy thought that would never have existed if I hadn't been born.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But [sorrows] won't get the better of you if you face 'em together with love and trust. You can weather any storm with them two for compass and pilot.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
If you can't be cheerful, be as cheerful as you can.
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
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
…determined to enjoy her luxury of grief uncomforted.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
People who don't like cats always seem to think there is some peculiar virtue in not liking them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Who would endure life if it were not for the hope of death?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I love them, they are so nice and selfish. Dogs are TOO good and unselfish. They make me feel uncomfortable. But cats are gloriously human.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Don't you just love poetry that gives you a crinkly feeling up and down your back?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
