The point of good writing is knowing when to stop.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
She asked me what made me do such a thing. That is an awkward question because I often can't tell what makes me do things. Sometimes I do them just to find out what I feel like doing them. And sometimes I do them because I want to have some exciting things to tell my grandchildren.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I am well in body although considerable rumpled up in spirit.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Houses are like people - some you like and some you don't like - and once in a while there is one you love.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
Love you! Girl, you're in the very core of my heart. I hold you there like a jewel. Didn't I promise you I'd never tell you a lie? Love you! I love you with all there is of me to love. Heart, soul, brain. Every fibre of body and spirit thrilling to the sweetness of you. There's nobody in the world for me but you, Valancy.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
To love is easy and therefore common - but to understand - how rare it is!
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Human nature is not obliged to be consistent.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Dramatic things always have a bitterness for some one.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
We've had a beautiful friendship, Diana. We've never marred it by one quarrel or coolness or unkind word and I hope it will always be so. But things can't be quite the same after this. You'll have other interests. I'll just be on the outside.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
After all, what could you expect from a pig but a grunt?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
…I'm so thankful for friendship. It beautifies life so much.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There is another bend in the road after this. No one knows what will happen.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The greatest happiness is to sneeze when you want to.
