More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
The greatest happiness is to sneeze when you want to.
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
They keep coming up new all the time - things to perplex you, you know. You settle one question and there's another right after. There are so many things to be thought over and decided when you're beginning to grow up. It keeps me busy all the time thinking them over and deciding what's right. It's a serious thing to grow up, isn't it, Marilla?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
We've had a beautiful friendship, Diana. We've never marred it by one quarrel or coolness or unkind word and I hope it will always be so. But things can't be quite the same after this. You'll have other interests. I'll just be on the outside.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I wish every one in the world was as warm and sheltered as we are tonight.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
After all, Anne had said to Marilla once, I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
I have a little brown cocoon of an idea that may possibly expand into a magnificent moth of fulfilment.
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
People who are different from other people are always called peculiar,' said Anne.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Words aren't made — they grow,' said Anne.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair. — Anne Shirley
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Dramatic things always have a bitterness for some one.
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
Anne laughed and sighed. She felt very old and mature and wise — which showed how young she was.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
…determined to enjoy her luxury of grief uncomforted.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I suppose all this sounds very crazy — all these terrible emotions always do sound foolish when we put them into our inadequate words. They are not meant to be spoken — only felt and endured.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But she had long ago learned that when she wandered into the realm of fancy she must go alone. The way to it was by an enchanted path where not even her dearest might follow her.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Why must people kneel down to pray? If I really wanted to pray I’ll tell you what I'd do. I'd go out into a great big field all alone or in the deep, deep woods and I'd look up into the sky—up—up—up—into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then I'd just feel a prayer.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
