Lucy Maud Montgomery
I have learned to look upon each little hindrance as a jest and each great one as a foreshadowing of victory.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
In this world you've just got to hope for the best and prepare for the worst and take whatever God sends.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one's life with pomp and blare... Perhaps it crept to one's side like an old friend through quiet ways.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Some nights are like honey - and some like wine - and some like wormwood.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I am simply a book drunkard.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
