More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
We don't know where we're going, but isn't is fun to go?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I wonder if it will be—can be—any more beautiful than this,’ murmured Anne, looking around her with the loving, enraptured eyes of those to whom ‘home’ must always be the loveliest spot in the world, no matter what fairer lands may lie under alien stars.
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
When people mean to be good to you, you don't mind very much when they're not quite—always.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Thank goodness, we can choose our friends. We have to take our relatives as they are, and be thankful.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
When I think something nice is going to happen I seem to fly right up on the wings of anticipation and then the first thing I realize I drop down to earth with a thud.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
As a rule, I am very careful to be shallow and conventional where depth and originality are wasted.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
One can't get over the habit of being a little girl all at once.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There isn't any such thing as an ordinary life. (92)
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair. — Anne Shirley
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You have the itch for writing born in you. It's quite incurable. What are you going to do with it?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I have really done so few bad things that they have to keep harping on the old ones [.]
Lucy Maud Montgomery
We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's great to be great, but it's great to be human.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Make them do as you want them to, she said. I can’t, mourned Anne. Averil is such an unmanageable heroine. She will do and say things I never meant her to. Then that spoils everything that went before and I have to write it all over again.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The beauty of winter is that it makes you appreciate spring.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
No use in taking a cat's opinion of a dog.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You must pay the penalty of growing-up, Paul. You must leave fairyland behind you.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
