More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
…determined to enjoy her luxury of grief uncomforted.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
In everything you do aim to excel for what is worth doing is worth doing well
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair. — Anne Shirley
Lucy Maud Montgomery
...the sorrows God sent us brought comfort and strength with them, while the sorrows we brought on ourselves, through folly or wickedness, were by far the hardest to bear.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Make them do as you want them to, she said. I can’t, mourned Anne. Averil is such an unmanageable heroine. She will do and say things I never meant her to. Then that spoils everything that went before and I have to write it all over again.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Facts are stubborn things, but, as some one has wisely said, not half so stubborn as fallacies.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Cakes have such a terrible habit of turning out bad just when you especially want them to be good.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
True friends are always together in spirit.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
To love is easy and therefore common - but to understand - how rare it is!
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Few things in Avonlea ever escaped Mrs. Lynde. It was only that morning Anne had said, If you went to your own room at midnight, locked the door, pulled down the blind, and sneezed, Mrs. Lynde would ask you the next day how your cold was!
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's dreadful what little things lead people to misunderstand each other.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Gilbert darling, don't let's ever be afraid of things. It's such dreadful slavery. Let's be daring and adventurous and expectant. Let's dance to meet life and all it can bring to us, even if it brings scads of trouble and typhoid and twins! (Anne to Gilbert)
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There isn't any such thing as an ordinary life. (92)
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The only true animal is a cat, and the only true cat is a gray cat.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nobody can keep on being angry if she looks into the heart of a pansy for a little while.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It is never quite safe to think we have done with life. When we imagine we have finished our story fate has a trick of turning the page and showing us yet another chapter.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
“You 're not eating anything,” said Marilla sharply, eying her as if it were a serious shortcoming. Anne sighed. “I can 't. I'm in the depths of despair. Can you eat when you are in the depths of despair?”
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I couldn't live where there were no trees--something vital in me would starve.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But really, Marilla, one can't stay sad very long in such an interesting world, can one?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I'd like to add some beauty to life, said Anne dreamily. I don't exactly want to make people KNOW more... though I know that IS the noblest ambition... but I'd love to make them have a pleasanter time because of me... to have some little joy or happy thought that would never have existed if I hadn't been born.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
