I've always held that early marriage is a sure indication of second-rate goods that had to be sold in a hurry. - Martin Harris
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nathan always believed his wife was trying to poison him but he didn't seem to mind. He said it made life kind of exciting.
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
Death grows friendlier as we grow older.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But really, Marilla, one can't stay sad very long in such an interesting world, can one?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Rilla's heart skipped a beat — or, if that be a physiological impossibility, she thought it did.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's delightful when your imaginations come true, isn't it?
