I like to hear a storm at night. It is so cosy to snuggle down among the blankets and feel that it can't get at you.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
brains last, beauty doesn't.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I don't want sunbursts and marble halls. I just want YOU. Sunbursts and marble halls may be all very well, but there is more 'scope for imagination' without them. And as for the waiting, that doesn't matter. We'll just be happy, waiting and working for each other—and dreaming. Oh, dreams will be very sweet now.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
But it ain't our feelings we have to steer by through life--no, no, we'd make shipwreck mighty often if we did that. There's only the one safe compass and we've got to set our course by that--what it's right to do.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Death grows friendlier as we grow older.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Outgrowing things we love is never a pleasant process.
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
Gossip lies nine times and tells a half truth the tenth.
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
I know you're a fool, Jim Hardy, but for heaven's sake pretend you're not for five minutes.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
