More quotes by 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 don't want sunbursts and marble halls. I just want YOU. Sunbursts and marble halls may be all very well, but there is more 'scope for imagination' without them. And as for the waiting, that doesn't matter. We'll just be happy, waiting and working for each other—and dreaming. Oh, dreams will be very sweet now.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I wouldn't want to marry anybody who was wicked, but I think I'd like it if he could be wicked and wouldn't.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Kindred spirits alone do not change with the changing years.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's so hard to get up again—although of course the harder it is the more satisfaction you have when you do get up, haven't you?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
…always felt the pain of her friends so keenly that she could not speak easy, fluent words of comforting. Besides, she remembered how well-meant speeches had hurt her in her own sorrow and was afraid.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The woods call to us with a hundred voices, but the sea has one only — a mighty voice that drowns our souls in its majestic music. The woods are human, but the sea is of the company of the archangels.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
She looks just as music sounds, I think,' answered Anne.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Don't be ridiculous, please.' The most insulting words in the world!
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Jane's stories are extremely sensible. Then Diana puts too many murders into hers. She says most of the time she doesn't know what to do with the people so she kills them off to get rid of them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
