Lucy Maud Montgomery
brains last, beauty doesn't.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
As a rule, I am very careful to be shallow and conventional where depth and originality are wasted.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I know you're a fool, Jim Hardy, but for heaven's sake pretend you're not for five minutes.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
My pen shall heal, not hurt.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I don't know that she is as amusing as she was when she was a child, but she makes me love her and I like people who make me love them. It saves me so much trouble in making myself love them.
