Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery

I've a pocket full of dreams to sell, said Teddy, whimsically,... What d'ye lack? What d'ye lack? A dream of success--a dream of adventure--a dream of the sea--a dream of the woodland--any kind of a dream you want at reasonable prices, including one or two unique little nightmares. What will you give me for a dream?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's great to be great, but it's great to be human.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Oh, Marilla, I thought I was happy before. Now I know that I just dreamed a pleasant dream of happiness. This is the reality.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Dramatic things always have a bitterness for some one.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nobody whom this war has touched will ever be happy again in quite the same way. But it will be a better happiness, I think, little sister - a happiness we've earned.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Anne laughed and sighed. She felt very old and mature and wise — which showed how young she was.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
In everything you do aim to excel for what is worth doing is worth doing well
