More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
To love is easy and therefore common - but to understand - how rare it is!
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
brains last, beauty doesn't.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I can't help flying up on the wings of anticipation. It's as glorious as soaring through a sunset... almost pays for the thud.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Truth exists, only lies have to be invented.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The only true animal is a cat, and the only true cat is a gray cat.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I'm just tired of everything…even of the echoes. There is nothing in my life but echoes…echoes of lost hopes and dreams and joys. They're beautiful and mocking.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You must pay the penalty of growing-up, Paul. You must leave fairyland behind you.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
