It's so dreadful to have nothing to love - life is so empty - and there's nothing worse than emptiness.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I read in a book once that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but I've never been able to believe it. I don't believe a rose WOULD be as nice if it was called a thistle or a skunk cabbage.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I love them, they are so nice and selfish. Dogs are TOO good and unselfish. They make me feel uncomfortable. But cats are gloriously human.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
He had also the reputation of being a bit of a lady killer. But that probably accrued to him from his possession of a laughing, velvety voice which no girl could hear without a heartbeat, and a dangerous way of listening as if she were saying something that he had longed all his life to hear.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Their happiness was in each others keeping, and both were unafraid.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Oh, Marilla, I thought I was happy before. Now I know that I just dreamed a pleasant dream of happiness. This is the reality.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
In everything you do aim to excel for what is worth doing is worth doing well
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But feeling is so different from knowing. My common sense tells me all you can say, but there are times when common sense has no power over me. Common nonsense takes possession of my soul.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
...the sorrows God sent us brought comfort and strength with them, while the sorrows we brought on ourselves, through folly or wickedness, were by far the hardest to bear.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I love to smell flowers in the dark, she said. You get hold of their soul then.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It was less humiliating to admit crying because of your feet than because - because somebody had been amusing himself with you and your friends had forgotten you, and other people patronised you.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Those who can soar to the highest heights can also plunge to the deepest depths and the natures which enjoy most keenly are those which also suffer most sharply.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Anne always remembered the silvery, peaceful beauty and fragrant calm of that night. It was the last night before sorrow touched her life and no life is ever quite the same again when once that cold, sanctifying touch has been laid upon it.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Here sat Marilla Cuthbert, when she sat at all, slightly distrustful of sunshine, which seemed to her too dancing and irresponsible a thing for a world which was meant to be taken seriously.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
An old house with its windows gone always makes me think of something dead with its eyes picked out.
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
Rilla's heart skipped a beat — or, if that be a physiological impossibility, she thought it did.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I wouldn't want to marry anybody who was wicked, but I think I'd like it if he could be wicked and wouldn't.
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
It will come sometime. Some beautiful morning she will just wake up and find it is Tomorrow. Not Today but Tomorrow. And then things will happen ... wonderful things.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
