Lucy Maud Montgomery
I must get out all my ambitions and dust them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I know I chatter on far too much... but if you only knew how many things I want to say and don't. Give me SOME credit.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
Love you! Girl, you're in the very core of my heart. I hold you there like a jewel. Didn't I promise you I'd never tell you a lie? Love you! I love you with all there is of me to love. Heart, soul, brain. Every fibre of body and spirit thrilling to the sweetness of you. There's nobody in the world for me but you, Valancy.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
A house isn't a home without the ineffable contentment of a cat with its tail folded about its feet. A cat gives mystery, charm, suggestion.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
What is it really like to be engaged? asked Anne curiously. Well, that all depends on who you're engaged to, answered Diana, with that maddening air of superior wisdom always assumed by those who are engaged over those who are not.
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
Youth is not a vanished thing but something that dwells forever in the heart.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

To love is easy and therefore common - but to understand - how rare it is!
