Lucy Maud Montgomery
Their happiness was in each others keeping, and both were unafraid.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Gossip lies nine times and tells a half truth the tenth.
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
That's one of the things we learn as we grow older -- how to forgive. It comes easier at forty than it did at twenty.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
That's a lovely idea, Diana,' said Anne enthusiastically. 'Living so that you beautify your name, even if it wasn't beautiful to begin with…making it stand in people's thoughts for something so lovely and pleasant that they never think of it by itself. Thank you, Diana.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair. — Anne Shirley

Lucy Maud Montgomery
That's the worst…or the best…of real life, Anne. It won't let you be miserable. It keeps on trying to make you comfortable…and succeeding…even when you're determined to be unhappy and romantic.
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
There's such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I'm such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn't be half so interesting.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But feeling is so different from knowing. My common sense tells me all you can say, but there are times when common sense has no power over me. Common nonsense takes possession of my soul.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nothing worth while is every easy come by.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
To dispair is to turn your back on God.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one's life with pomp and blare... Perhaps it crept to one's side like an old friend through quiet ways.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I can't cheer up — I don't want to cheer up. It's nicer to be miserable!
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You noticed that I wore this outfit twice? Why, the only thing you wear twice is a sour expression.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
