Lucy Maud Montgomery
I can't cheer up — I don't want to cheer up. It's nicer to be miserable!
Lucy Maud Montgomery
she was richer in those dreams than in realities for things seen pass away, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You may tire of reality but you never tire of dreams.
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
I'm just tired of everything…even of the echoes. There is nothing in my life but echoes…echoes of lost hopes and dreams and joys. They're beautiful and mocking.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It will come sometime. Some beautiful morning she will just wake up and find it is Tomorrow. Not Today but Tomorrow. And then things will happen ... wonderful things.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
