To dispair is to turn your back on God.
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
You're never safe from being surprised until you're dead.
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

Lucy Maud Montgomery
The only true animal is a cat, and the only true cat is a gray cat.
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
When I think something nice is going to happen I seem to fly right up on the wings of anticipation and then the first thing I realize I drop down to earth with a thud. But really, Marilla, the flying part is glorious as long as it lasts. . . it's like soaring through a sunset. I think it almost pays for the thud.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Anne laughed and sighed. She felt very old and mature and wise — which showed how young she was.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You see, she concluded miserably, when I can call like that to him across space--I belong to him. He doesn't love me--he never will--but I belong to him.
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
It's delightful when your imaginations come true, isn't it?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's great to be great, but it's great to be human.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
