More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
You noticed that I wore this outfit twice? Why, the only thing you wear twice is a sour expression.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
As a rule, I am very careful to be shallow and conventional where depth and originality are wasted.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
That's the worst…or the best…of real life, Anne. It won't let you be miserable. It keeps on trying to make you comfortable…and succeeding…even when you're determined to be unhappy and romantic.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
if I can't get what I want - well, I'll want what I can get.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The only true animal is a cat, and the only true cat is a gray cat.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's great to be great, but it's great to be human.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I like to hear a storm at night. It is so cosy to snuggle down among the blankets and feel that it can't get at you.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
True friends are always together in spirit.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I wish every one in the world was as warm and sheltered as we are tonight.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Why is it that the nicest things never are healthy?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There is so much in the world for us all if we only have the eyes to see it, and the heart to love it, and the hand to gather it to ourselves--so much in men and women, so much in art and literature, so much everywhere in which to delight, and for which to be thankful.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But feeling is so different from knowing. My common sense tells me all you can say, but there are times when common sense has no power over me. Common nonsense takes possession of my soul.
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 love to smell flowers in the dark, she said. You get hold of their soul then.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You may tire of reality but you never tire of dreams.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I've done my best, and I begin to understand what is meant by 'the joy of strife'. Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing.
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
I know you're a fool, Jim Hardy, but for heaven's sake pretend you're not for five minutes.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
“You 're not eating anything,” said Marilla sharply, eying her as if it were a serious shortcoming. Anne sighed. “I can 't. I'm in the depths of despair. Can you eat when you are in the depths of despair?”
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Isn't it good just to be alive on a day like this? I pity the people who aren't born yet for missing it.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
