Lucy Maud Montgomery
I read in a book once that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but I've never been able to believe it. I don't believe a rose WOULD be as nice if it was called a thistle or a skunk cabbage.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
We don't know where we're going, but isn't is fun to go?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Dear old world', she murmured, 'you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you.
