Lucy Maud Montgomery Quotes

"Marilla says that a large family was raised in that old house long ago, and that it was a real pretty place, with a lovely garden and roses climbing all over it. It was full of little children and laughter and songs; and now it is empty, and nothing ever wanders through it but the wind. How lonely and sorrowful it must feel! Perhaps they all come back on moonlit nights. . .the ghosts of the little children of long ago and the roses and the songs. . .and for a little while the old house can dream it is young and joyous again." ~ Anne Of Avonlea by Lucy Maud Montgomery "There are so many unpleasant things in the world already that there is no use in imagining any more." ~ Anne Of Avonlea by Lucy Maud Montgomery "That is one good thing about this world. . .there are always sure to be more springs." ~ Anne Of Avonlea by Lucy Maud Montgomery "In this world you've just got to hope for the best and prepare for the worst and take whatever God sends." ~ Anne Of Avonlea by Lucy Maud Montgomery "It's so easy to be wicked without knowing it, isn't it? " ~ Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery "There's such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I'm such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn't be half so interesting." ~ Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery "Marilla, isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?" ~ Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery "I'm not a bit changed--not really. I'm only just pruned down and branched out. The real ME--back here--is just the same." ~ Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery "When I left Queen's my future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don't know what lies around the bend, but I'm going to believe that the best does. It has a fascination of its own, that bend, Marilla." ~ Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery "Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?" ~ Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery
