More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Words aren't made — they grow,' said Anne.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Fear is the original sin. Almost all of the evil in the world has its origin in the fact that some one is afraid of something.It is a cold slimy serpent coiling about you. It is horrible to live with fear and it is of all things degrading.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Don't you just love poetry that gives you a crinkly feeling up and down your back?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
To dispair is to turn your back on God.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I don't want sunbursts and marble halls. I just want YOU. Sunbursts and marble halls may be all very well, but there is more 'scope for imagination' without them. And as for the waiting, that doesn't matter. We'll just be happy, waiting and working for each other—and dreaming. Oh, dreams will be very sweet now.
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

Lucy Maud Montgomery

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
Love you! Girl, you're in the very core of my heart. I hold you there like a jewel. Didn't I promise you I'd never tell you a lie? Love you! I love you with all there is of me to love. Heart, soul, brain. Every fibre of body and spirit thrilling to the sweetness of you. There's nobody in the world for me but you, Valancy.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It is never quite safe to think we have done with life. When we imagine we have finished our story fate has a trick of turning the page and showing us yet another chapter.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
True friends are always together in spirit.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I love to smell flowers in the dark, she said. You get hold of their soul then.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
She had looked her duty courageously in the face and found it a friend - as duty ever is when we meet it frankly.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
People who haven’t red hair don’t know what trouble is.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The greatest happiness is to sneeze when you want to.

Why is it that the nicest things never are healthy?
