More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
Some nights are like honey - and some like wine - and some like wormwood.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I know I haven't much sense or sobriety, but I've got what is ever so much better — the knack of making people like me.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Don't be ridiculous, please.' The most insulting words in the world!
Lucy Maud Montgomery
She asked me what made me do such a thing. That is an awkward question because I often can't tell what makes me do things. Sometimes I do them just to find out what I feel like doing them. And sometimes I do them because I want to have some exciting things to tell my grandchildren.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I feel as though someone's handed me the moon... and I don't exactly know what to do with it.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
One can't get over the habit of being a little girl all at once.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There might be some hours of loneliness. But there was something wonderful even in loneliness. At least you belonged to yourself when you were lonely.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Youth is not a vanished thing but something that dwells forever in the heart.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
