Lucy Maud Montgomery
I suppose all this sounds very crazy — all these terrible emotions always do sound foolish when we put them into our inadequate words. They are not meant to be spoken — only felt and endured.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You must pay the penalty of growing-up, Paul. You must leave fairyland behind you.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There is a book of Revelation in every one's life, as there is in the Bible.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair, said Anne reproachfully. People who haven't red hair don't know what trouble is.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But it ain't our feelings we have to steer by through life--no, no, we'd make shipwreck mighty often if we did that. There's only the one safe compass and we've got to set our course by that--what it's right to do.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You're never safe from being surprised until you're dead.
