Lucy Maud Montgomery
I've had a splendid time, she concluded happily, and I feel that it marks an epoch in my life. But the best of it all was the coming home.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Dramatic things always have a bitterness for some one.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
In daylight I belong to the world . . . in the night to sleep and eternity. But in the dusk I'm free from both and belong only to myself . . . and you
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's bad enough to feel insignificant, but it's unbearable to have it grained into your soul that you will never, can never, be anything but insignificant.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Youth is not a vanished thing but something that dwells forever in the heart.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
An old house with its windows gone always makes me think of something dead with its eyes picked out.
