More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
…determined to enjoy her luxury of grief uncomforted.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
…always felt the pain of her friends so keenly that she could not speak easy, fluent words of comforting. Besides, she remembered how well-meant speeches had hurt her in her own sorrow and was afraid.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Gilbert, I'm afraid I'm scandalously in love with you.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's dreadful what little things lead people to misunderstand each other.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The woods call to us with a hundred voices, but the sea has one only — a mighty voice that drowns our souls in its majestic music. The woods are human, but the sea is of the company of the archangels.
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
Have you ever noticed that when people say it is their duty to tell you a certain thing you may prepare for something disagreeable? Why is it that they never seem to think it a duty to tell you the pleasant things they hear about you?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I feel as if I had opened a book and found roses of yesterday sweet and fragrant, between its leaves.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
She asked me what made me do such a thing. That is an awkward question because I often can't tell what makes me do things. Sometimes I do them just to find out what I feel like doing them. And sometimes I do them because I want to have some exciting things to tell my grandchildren.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Oh, Marilla, I thought I was happy before. Now I know that I just dreamed a pleasant dream of happiness. This is the reality.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Mrs. Cadbury: Tell me what you know about yourself. Anne Shirley: Well, it really isn't worth telling, Mrs. Cadbury... but if you let me tell you what I IMAGINE about myself you'd find it a lot more interesting.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But feeling is so different from knowing. My common sense tells me all you can say, but there are times when common sense has no power over me. Common nonsense takes possession of my soul.
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
All things great are wound up with all things little.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I am well in body although considerable rumpled up in spirit.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Gossip lies nine times and tells a half truth the tenth.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Of all the uncertain things marriage is the uncertainest.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
She will love deeply--suffer terribly--she will have glorious moments to compensate.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I wonder if it will be—can be—any more beautiful than this,’ murmured Anne, looking around her with the loving, enraptured eyes of those to whom ‘home’ must always be the loveliest spot in the world, no matter what fairer lands may lie under alien stars.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Words aren't made — they grow,' said Anne.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
