More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Here sat Marilla Cuthbert, when she sat at all, slightly distrustful of sunshine, which seemed to her too dancing and irresponsible a thing for a world which was meant to be taken seriously.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Behind them in the garden the little stone house brooded among the shadows. It was lonely but not forsaken. It had not yet done with dreams and laughter and the joy of life there were to be future summers for the little stone house meanwhile, it could wait. And over the river in purple durance the echoes bided their time.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Some nights are like honey - and some like wine - and some like wormwood.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Kindred spirits alone do not change with the changing years.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
brains last, beauty doesn't.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
An old house with its windows gone always makes me think of something dead with its eyes picked out.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I must get out all my ambitions and dust them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
Their happiness was in each others keeping, and both were unafraid.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Walter's eyes were very wonderful. All the joy and sorrow and laughter and loyalty and aspirations of many generations lying under the sod looked out of their dark-gray depths.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Fear is a confession of weakness. What you fear is stronger than you, or you think it is, else you wouldn't be afraid of it.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There is another bend in the road after this. No one knows what will happen.
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
[she] had a great reputation for unselfishness because she was always giving up a lot of things she didn't want.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
But I just went to work and imagined that I had on the most beautiful pale blue silk dress - because when you are imagining you might as well imagine something worth while.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
...a little appreciation sometimes does quite as much good as all the conscientious bringing up in the world.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
When one great passion seizes possession of the soul all other feelings are crowded out.
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
