Lucy Maud Montgomery
You'll never write anything that really satisfies you though it may satisfy other people.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I read in a book once that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but I've never been able to believe it. I don't believe a rose WOULD be as nice if it was called a thistle or a skunk cabbage.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I know I haven't much sense or sobriety, but I've got what is ever so much better — the knack of making people like me.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
He had also the reputation of being a bit of a lady killer. But that probably accrued to him from his possession of a laughing, velvety voice which no girl could hear without a heartbeat, and a dangerous way of listening as if she were saying something that he had longed all his life to hear.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
let's not borrow trouble. The rate of interest is too high.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
We are both going to pray that we may live together all our lives and die the same day.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Without shedding of blood there is no anything. Everything, it seems to me, has to be purchased by selfsacrifice. Our race has marked every step of its painful ascent with blood. And now torrents of it must flow again.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nobody can keep on being angry if she looks into the heart of a pansy for a little while.
