Lucy Maud Montgomery
The only thing I envy about a cat is its purr, remarked Dr. Blythe once, listening to Doc's resonant melody. It is the most contented sound in the world.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Heretics are wicked, but they're mighty int'resting. It's jest that they've got sorter lost looking for God, being under the impression that He's hard to find - which He ain't never.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Outgrowing things we love is never a pleasant process.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nothing worth while is every easy come by.
