More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
People who don't like cats always seem to think there is some peculiar virtue in not liking them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Why must people kneel down to pray? If I really wanted to pray I’ll tell you what I'd do. I'd go out into a great big field all alone or in the deep, deep woods and I'd look up into the sky—up—up—up—into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then I'd just feel a prayer.

It's dreadful what little things lead people to misunderstand each other.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The night was clear and frosty, all ebony of shadow and silver of snowy slope big stars were shining over the silent fields here and there the dark pointed firs stood up with snow powdering their branches and the wind whistling through them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Have you ever noticed that when people say it is their duty to tell you a certain thing you may prepare for something disagreeable? Why is it that they never seem to think it a duty to tell you the pleasant things they hear about you?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I have learned to look upon each little hindrance as a jest and each great one as a foreshadowing of victory.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Dogs want only love but cats demand worship.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair. — Anne Shirley
