More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
When I left Queen's my future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don't know what lies around the bend, but I'm going to believe that the best does.

Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
The greatest happiness is to sneeze when you want to.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
Gossip lies nine times and tells a half truth the tenth.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.
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
