Thank goodness, we can choose our friends. We have to take our relatives as they are, and be thankful.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I must be getting old ... People are beginning to tell me I look so young. They never tell you that when you are young.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
brains last, beauty doesn't.

I read somewhere once that souls were like flowers,' said Priscilla. 'Then your soul is a golden narcissus,' said Anne, 'and Diana's is like a red, red rose. Jane's is an apple blossom, pink and wholesome and sweet.' 'And our own is a white violet, with purple streaks in its heart,' finished Priscilla.

I can't cheer up — I don't want to cheer up. It's nicer to be miserable!

There is so much in the world for us all if we only have the eyes to see it, and the heart to love it, and the hand to gather it to ourselves--so much in men and women, so much in art and literature, so much everywhere in which to delight, and for which to be thankful.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Don't you know that it is only very foolish folk who talk sense all the time?
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
Why is it that the nicest things never are healthy?
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.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Cakes have such a terrible habit of turning out bad just when you especially want them to be good.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Make them do as you want them to, she said. I can’t, mourned Anne. Averil is such an unmanageable heroine. She will do and say things I never meant her to. Then that spoils everything that went before and I have to write it all over again.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's delightful when your imaginations come true, isn't it?
