I've always held that early marriage is a sure indication of second-rate goods that had to be sold in a hurry. - Martin Harris
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I've a pocket full of dreams to sell, said Teddy, whimsically,... What d'ye lack? What d'ye lack? A dream of success--a dream of adventure--a dream of the sea--a dream of the woodland--any kind of a dream you want at reasonable prices, including one or two unique little nightmares. What will you give me for a dream?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
