Lucy Maud Montgomery
There be three gentle and goodlie things, To be here, To be together, And to think well of one another.
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.

Do you know, Gilbert, there are times when I strongly suspect that I love you!
Lucy Maud Montgomery
she was richer in those dreams than in realities for things seen pass away, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I suppose all this sounds very crazy — all these terrible emotions always do sound foolish when we put them into our inadequate words. They are not meant to be spoken — only felt and endured.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Children can be the most cruel creatures alive. They have the herd instinct of prejudice against any outsider, and they are merciless in its indulgence.
