More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
I feel as if I had opened a book and found roses of yesterday sweet and fragrant, between its leaves.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You have the itch for writing born in you. It's quite incurable. What are you going to do with it?

Lucy Maud Montgomery
There is no such thing as freedom on earth, he said. Only different kinds of bondages. And comparative bondages. YOU think you are free now because you've escaped from a peculiarly unbreakable kind of bondage. But are you? You love me - THAT'S a bondage.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Proverbs are all very fine when there's nothing to worry you, but when you're in real trouble, they're not a bit of help.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Life owes me something more than it has paid me and I'm going out to collect it.
