More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
It was less humiliating to admit crying because of your feet than because - because somebody had been amusing himself with you and your friends had forgotten you, and other people patronised you.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
We ought always to try to influence others for good.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There's such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I'm such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn't be half so interesting.
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
She looks just as music sounds, I think,' answered Anne.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But was anything in life, Anne asked herself wearily, like one's imagination of it?

That's the worst…or the best…of real life, Anne. It won't let you be miserable. It keeps on trying to make you comfortable…and succeeding…even when you're determined to be unhappy and romantic.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
That's one of the things we learn as we grow older -- how to forgive. It comes easier at forty than it did at twenty.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Anne felt instinctively that romance was peeping at her around a corner.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Jane's stories are extremely sensible. Then Diana puts too many murders into hers. She says most of the time she doesn't know what to do with the people so she kills them off to get rid of them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Heretics are wicked, but they're mighty int'resting. It's jest that they've got sorter lost looking for God, being under the impression that He's hard to find - which He ain't never.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nothing worth while is every easy come by.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Proverbs are all very fine when there's nothing to worry you, but when you're in real trouble, they're not a bit of help.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Don't be very frightened, Marilla. I was walking the ridge-pole and I fell off. I suspect I have sprained my ankle. But, Marilla, I might have broken my neck. Let us look on the bright side of things.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Cakes have such a terrible habit of turning out bad just when you especially want them to be good.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
We pay a price for everything we get or take in this world and although ambitions are well worth having, they are not to be cheaply won, but exact their dues of work and self denial, anxiety and discouragement.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Without shedding of blood there is no anything. Everything, it seems to me, has to be purchased by selfsacrifice. Our race has marked every step of its painful ascent with blood. And now torrents of it must flow again.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Anne was always glad in the happiness of her friends but it is sometimes a little lonely to be surrounded everywhere by happiness that is not your own.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair, said Anne reproachfully. People who haven't red hair don't know what trouble is.
