Lucy Maud Montgomery

What will you give me for a dream?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I feel as though someone's handed me the moon... and I don't exactly know what to do with it.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I've always loved the night and I'll like lying awake and thinking over everything in life, past, present and to come. Especially to come.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There are so many unpleasant things in the world already that there is no use in imagining any more.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
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.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You noticed that I wore this outfit twice? Why, the only thing you wear twice is a sour expression.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There might be some hours of loneliness. But there was something wonderful even in loneliness. At least you belonged to yourself when you were lonely.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Of all the uncertain things marriage is the uncertainest.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nathan always believed his wife was trying to poison him but he didn't seem to mind. He said it made life kind of exciting.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I feel as if I had opened a book and found roses of yesterday sweet and fragrant, between its leaves.
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.
