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
You must pay the penalty of growing-up, Paul. You must leave fairyland behind you.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Gilbert, I'm afraid I'm scandalously in love with you.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
In daylight I belong to the world . . . in the night to sleep and eternity. But in the dusk I'm free from both and belong only to myself . . . and you

Reading stories is bad enough but writing them is worse.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
When I think something nice is going to happen I seem to fly right up on the wings of anticipation and then the first thing I realize I drop down to earth with a thud.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
