I've a pocket full of dreams to sell, said Teddy, whimsically,... What d'ye lack? What d'ye lack? A dream of success--a dream of adventure--a dream of the sea--a dream of the woodland--any kind of a dream you want at reasonable prices, including one or two unique little nightmares.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
Few women are so beautiful and charming that they can afford to divest themselves of any portion of their charm so they are very foolish to do so by smoking. It doesn't matter about men. Men look ugly and silly, too, when smoking. But it isn't beauty that matters with them-only strength
Lucy Maud Montgomery
…I think,' concluded Anne, hitting on a very vital truth, 'that we always love best the people who need us.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I can't help flying up on the wings of anticipation. It's as glorious as soaring through a sunset... almost pays for the thud.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
That's the worst…or the best…of real life, Anne. It won't let you be miserable. It keeps on trying to make you comfortable…and succeeding…even when you're determined to be unhappy and romantic.
