More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
To love is easy and therefore common - but to understand - how rare it is!
Lucy Maud Montgomery
…always felt the pain of her friends so keenly that she could not speak easy, fluent words of comforting. Besides, she remembered how well-meant speeches had hurt her in her own sorrow and was afraid.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Don't be very frightened, Marilla. I was walking the ridge-pole and I fell off. I suspect I have sprained my ankle. But, Marilla, I might have broken my neck. Let us look on the bright side of things.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nobody can keep on being angry if she looks into the heart of a pansy for a little while.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Anne was always glad in the happiness of her friends but it is sometimes a little lonely to be surrounded everywhere by happiness that is not your own.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Fear is a confession of weakness. What you fear is stronger than you, or you think it is, else you wouldn't be afraid of it.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
People who haven’t red hair don’t know what trouble is.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
“You 're not eating anything,” said Marilla sharply, eying her as if it were a serious shortcoming. Anne sighed. “I can 't. I'm in the depths of despair. Can you eat when you are in the depths of despair?”
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
I can just imagine myself sitting down at the head of the table and pouring out the tea, said Anne, shutting her eyes ecstatically. And asking Diana if she takes sugar! I know she doesn't but of course I'll ask her just as if I didn't know.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Those who can soar to the highest heights can also plunge to the deepest depths and the natures which enjoy most keenly are those which also suffer most sharply.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
let's not borrow trouble. The rate of interest is too high.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Facts are stubborn things, but, as some one has wisely said, not half so stubborn as fallacies.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's bad enough to feel insignificant, but it's unbearable to have it grained into your soul that you will never, can never, be anything but insignificant.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Why did dusk and fir-scent and the afterglow of autumnal sunsets make people say absurd things?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Reading stories is bad enough but writing them is worse.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
When I left Queen's my future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don't know what lies around the bend, but I'm going to believe that the best does.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nothing mattered much to me for a time there, after you told me you could never love me, Anne. There was nobody else -- there never could be anybody else for me but you. I've loved you ever since that day you broke your slate over my head in school.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nothing ever seems impossible in spring, you know.
