Lucy Maud Montgomery
Outgrowing things we love is never a pleasant process.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
But was anything in life, Anne asked herself wearily, like one's imagination of it?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I've a pocket full of dreams to sell, said Teddy, whimsically,... What d'ye lack? What d'ye lack? A dream of success--a dream of adventure--a dream of the sea--a dream of the woodland--any kind of a dream you want at reasonable prices, including one or two unique little nightmares. What will you give me for a dream?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I have a dream, he said slowly. I persist in dreaming it, although it has often seemed to me that it could never come true. I dream of a home with a hearth-fire in it, a cat and dog, the footsteps of friends -- and YOU!
Lucy Maud Montgomery
