Lucy Maud Montgomery
Words aren't made — they grow,' said Anne.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's the worst kind of cruelty — the thoughtless kind. You can't cope with it.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You must pay the penalty of growing-up, Paul. You must leave fairyland behind you.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I like to hear a storm at night. It is so cosy to snuggle down among the blankets and feel that it can't get at you.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Dramatic things always have a bitterness for some one.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You were never poor as long as you had something to love.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Make a little room in your plans for romance again, Anne, girl. All the degrees and scholarships in the world can’t make up for the lack of it. ~Aunt Josephine to Anne in Anne Of Green Gables
Lucy Maud Montgomery
We don't know where we're going, but isn't is fun to go?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nothing ever seems impossible in spring, you know.
