Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
Fear is a confession of weakness. What you fear is stronger than you, or you think it is, else you wouldn't be afraid of it.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The beauty of winter is that it makes you appreciate spring.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I've always loved the night and I'll like lying awake and thinking over everything in life, past, present and to come. Especially to come.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's not vanity to know your own good points. It would just be stupidity if you didn't It's only vanity when you get puffed up about them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
