Lucy Maud Montgomery
I can't cheer up — I don't want to cheer up. It's nicer to be miserable!
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I don't want sunbursts and marble halls. I just want YOU. Sunbursts and marble halls may be all very well, but there is more 'scope for imagination' without them.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
Don't be ridiculous, please.' The most insulting words in the world!
Lucy Maud Montgomery
