But really, Marilla, one can't stay sad very long in such an interesting world, can one?
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
I have really done so few bad things that they have to keep harping on the old ones [.]
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

Lucy Maud Montgomery
You may tire of reality but you never tire of dreams.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Those who can soar to the highest heights can also plunge to the deepest depths and the natures which enjoy most keenly are those which also suffer most sharply.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
