Lucy Maud Montgomery
…the Lake of Shining Waters was blue — blue — blue not the changeful blue of spring, nor the pale azure of summer, but a clear, steadfast, serene blue, as if the water were past all modes and tenses of emotion and had settled down to a tranquillity unbroken by fickle dreams.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

You may tire of reality but you never tire of dreams.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
