Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
Few women are so beautiful and charming that they can afford to divest themselves of any portion of their charm so they are very foolish to do so by smoking. It doesn't matter about men. Men look ugly and silly, too, when smoking. But it isn't beauty that matters with them-only strength
Lucy Maud Montgomery
A house isn't a home without the ineffable contentment of a cat with its tail folded about its feet. A cat gives mystery, charm, suggestion.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
I have a little brown cocoon of an idea that may possibly expand into a magnificent moth of fulfilment.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
In everything you do aim to excel for what is worth doing is worth doing well
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
I don't want sunbursts and marble halls. I just want YOU. Sunbursts and marble halls may be all very well, but there is more 'scope for imagination' without them. And as for the waiting, that doesn't matter. We'll just be happy, waiting and working for each other—and dreaming. Oh, dreams will be very sweet now.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
