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 wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I suppose all this sounds very crazy — all these terrible emotions always do sound foolish when we put them into our inadequate words. They are not meant to be spoken — only felt and endured.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
In this world you've just got to hope for the best and prepare for the worst and take whatever God sends.
