More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Fancies are like shadows...you can't cage them, they're such wayward, dancing things.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Gilbert, I'm afraid I'm scandalously in love with you.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I can just imagine myself sitting down at the head of the table and pouring out the tea, said Anne, shutting her eyes ecstatically. And asking Diana if she takes sugar! I know she doesn't but of course I'll ask her just as if I didn't know.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
We've had a beautiful friendship, Diana. We've never marred it by one quarrel or coolness or unkind word and I hope it will always be so. But things can't be quite the same after this. You'll have other interests. I'll just be on the outside.
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
Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one's life with pomp and blare... Perhaps it crept to one's side like an old friend through quiet ways.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
That's one of the things we learn as we grow older -- how to forgive. It comes easier at forty than it did at twenty.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
if I can't get what I want - well, I'll want what I can get.
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
Proverbs are all very fine when there's nothing to worry you, but when you're in real trouble, they're not a bit of help.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
…I'm so thankful for friendship. It beautifies life so much.
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
Human nature is not obliged to be consistent.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You were never poor as long as you had something to love.
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
When I left Queen's my future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don't know what lies around the bend, but I'm going to believe that the best does.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The body grows slowly and steadily but the soul grows by leaps and bounds. It may come to its full stature in an hour.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
One can't get over the habit of being a little girl all at once.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Walter's eyes were very wonderful. All the joy and sorrow and laughter and loyalty and aspirations of many generations lying under the sod looked out of their dark-gray depths.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
