More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
I've always loved the night and I'll like lying awake and thinking over everything in life, past, present and to come. Especially to come.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It is never quite safe to think we have done with life. When we imagine we have finished our story fate has a trick of turning the page and showing us yet another chapter.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
…determined to enjoy her luxury of grief uncomforted.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But really, Marilla, one can't stay sad very long in such an interesting world, can one?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You are the only person who loves me in the world, said Elizabeth. When you talk to me I smell violets.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
Why must people kneel down to pray? If I really wanted to pray I’ll tell you what I'd do. I'd go out into a great big field all alone or in the deep, deep woods and I'd look up into the sky—up—up—up—into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then I'd just feel a prayer.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But [sorrows] won't get the better of you if you face 'em together with love and trust. You can weather any storm with them two for compass and pilot.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
...a little appreciation sometimes does quite as much good as all the conscientious bringing up in the world.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There might be some hours of loneliness. But there was something wonderful even in loneliness. At least you belonged to yourself when you were lonely.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
True friends are always together in spirit.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
We came to the comforting conclusion that the Creator probably knew how to run His universe quite as well as we do, and that, after all, there are no such things as 'wasted' lives, saving and except when am individual wilfully squanders and wastes his own life.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The point of good writing is knowing when to stop.
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
never write a line you'd be ashamed to read at your own funeral.
