Lucy Maud Montgomery
I am simply a book drunkard.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Why did dusk and fir-scent and the afterglow of autumnal sunsets make people say absurd things?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
She had looked her duty courageously in the face and found it a friend - as duty ever is when we meet it frankly.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
if I can't get what I want - well, I'll want what I can get.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's not vanity to know your own good points. It would just be stupidity if you didn't It's only vanity when you get puffed up about them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
People who haven’t red hair don’t know what trouble is.
