Lucy Maud Montgomery
One can't get over the habit of being a little girl all at once.
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
The woods are never solitary--they are full of whispering, beckoning, friendly life. But the sea is a mighty soul, forever moaning of some great, unshareable sorrow, which shuts it up into itself for all eternity.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Reading stories is bad enough but writing them is worse.
