To love is easy and therefore common - but to understand - how rare it is!
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nothing ever seems impossible in spring, you know.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Few things in Avonlea ever escaped Mrs. Lynde. It was only that morning Anne had said, If you went to your own room at midnight, locked the door, pulled down the blind, and sneezed, Mrs. Lynde would ask you the next day how your cold was!
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There are plenty of people, in Avonlea and out of it, who can attend closely to their neighbours' business by dint of neglecting their own but Mrs. Rachel Lynde was one of those capable creatures who can manage their own concerns and those of other folks into the bargain.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
My life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
We pay a price for everything we get or take in this world and although ambitions are well worth having, they are not to be cheaply won, but exact their dues of work and self denial, anxiety and discouragement.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
That's the worst…or the best…of real life, Anne. It won't let you be miserable. It keeps on trying to make you comfortable…and succeeding…even when you're determined to be unhappy and romantic.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Don't you know that it is only very foolish folk who talk sense all the time?
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
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
