The woods call to us with a hundred voices, but the sea has one only — a mighty voice that drowns our souls in its majestic music. The woods are human, but the sea is of the company of the archangels.

More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Yes, it's beautiful,' said Gilbert, looking steadily down into Anne's uplifted face, 'but wouldn't it have been more beautiful still, Anne, if there had been no separation or misunderstanding . . . if they had come hand in hand all the way through life, with no memories behind them but those which belonged to each other?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But she had long ago learned that when she wandered into the realm of fancy she must go alone. The way to it was by an enchanted path where not even her dearest might follow her.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I'm afraid of those cows,' protested poor Dora, seeing a prospect of escape. 'The very idea of your being scared of those cows,' scoffed Davy. 'Why, they're both younger than you.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Humor is the spiciest condiment in the feast of existence. Laugh at your mistakes but learn from them, joke over your troubles but gather strength from them, make a jest of your difficulties but overcome them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Gilbert, I'm afraid I'm scandalously in love with you.

Proverbs are all very fine when there's nothing to worry you, but when you're in real trouble, they're not a bit of help.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The greatest happiness is to sneeze when you want to.
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
Nobody whom this war has touched will ever be happy again in quite the same way. But it will be a better happiness, I think, little sister - a happiness we've earned.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Houses are like people - some you like and some you don't like - and once in a while there is one you love.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
She wanted to be alone - to think things out - to adjust herself, if it were possible, to the new world in which she seemed to have been transplanted with a suddenness and completeness that left her half bewildered to her own identity.
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
It is never quite safe to think we have done with life. When we imagine we have finished our story fate has a trick of turning the page and showing us yet another chapter.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I'm not a bit changed - not really. I'm only just pruned down and branched out. The real me - back here - is just the same.

I suppose it was a romantic was to perish... for a mouse
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The only true animal is a cat, and the only true cat is a gray cat.
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
[she] had a great reputation for unselfishness because she was always giving up a lot of things she didn't want.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Isn't it good just to be alive on a day like this? I pity the people who aren't born yet for missing it.
