Of all the uncertain things marriage is the uncertainest.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
She asked me what made me do such a thing. That is an awkward question because I often can't tell what makes me do things. Sometimes I do them just to find out what I feel like doing them. And sometimes I do them because I want to have some exciting things to tell my grandchildren.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
