Gossip lies nine times and tells a half truth the tenth.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I have a dream, he said slowly. I persist in dreaming it, although it has often seemed to me that it could never come true. I dream of a home with a hearth-fire in it, a cat and dog, the footsteps of friends -- and YOU!

Make a little room in your plans for romance again, Anne, girl. All the degrees and scholarships in the world can’t make up for the lack of it. ~Aunt Josephine to Anne in Anne Of Green Gables
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Behind them in the garden the little stone house brooded among the shadows. It was lonely but not forsaken. It had not yet done with dreams and laughter and the joy of life there were to be future summers for the little stone house meanwhile, it could wait. And over the river in purple durance the echoes bided their time.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
