| 2d38fde | You'll just pamper Anne's vanity, Matthew, and she's as vain as a peacock now. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 71c45e4 | As for Mr. Meredith," said Miss Cornelia, "even his engagement has made a different man of him. He isn't half so dreamy and absent-minded, believe me. I was so relieved when I heard that he had decided to close the manse and let the children visit round while he was away on his honeymoon. If he had left them and old Aunt Martha there alone for a month I should have expected to wake every morning and see the place burned down." -- | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 3cca1bf | I believe you!" Miss Ellen nodded. "Mark my words, Mr. Meredith, that man is going to fight somebody yet. He's ACHING to. He is going to set the world on fire." "If" | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 0f39068 | I do not know the difference between them, for the politics of the Yankees is a puzzle I cannot solve, study it as I may. But as far as seeing through a grindstone goes, I am afraid--" Susan shook her head dubiously, "that they are all tarred with the same brush." | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| a83ee02 | It will take a lot of love to spoil Ilse," laughed Laura. "She's drinking it up like a thirsty sponge. And she loves him wildly in return." | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 067e33b | You will have to make up the old quarrel, Susan. It will never do to be at outs with your neighbours." "Cousin Sophia began the quarrel, so she can begin the making up also, Mrs. Dr. dear," said Susan loftily. "If she does I hope I am a good enough Christian to meet her half-way. She is not a cheerful person and has been a wet blanket all her life. The last time I saw her, her face had a thousand wrinkles--maybe more, maybe less--from worry.. | L.M. Montgomery | ||

The shadow of the Great Conflict" -- | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 33db9db | marry your father because you wanted to make him happy? You're a darling--a heroine--as Ellen would say, you're a brick. Now listen to me, very closely, dearest. Mary Vance is a silly little girl who doesn't know very much and she is dreadfully mistaken about some things. I would never dream of trying to turn your father against you. I would love you all dearly. I don't want to take your own mother's place--she must always have that in your.. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 8051549 | People say men are interesting. They may be. But I shall never get well enough acquainted with any of them to find out. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| feccacd | you know what Lowell says, 'Not failure but low aim is crime.' We must have ideals and try to live up to them, even if we never quite succeed. Life would be a sorry business without them. With | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| cea0c97 | He who accepts human love must bind it to his soul with pain, and she is not lost to me. Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it. | L.M. Montgomery | ||

| 86d534e | The minister who is candidating can't be too careful what text he chooses, | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| f869f24 | What is the matter with Harrison Miller, anyway? | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 7eccbaf | Seems to me you must always have been afraid to be young. It takes courage, I can tell you that. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| e403cd2 | When Marilla took Anne up to bed that night she said stiffly: "Now, Anne, I noticed last night that you threw your clothes all about the floor when you took them off. That is a very untidy habit, and I can't allow it at all. As soon as you take off any article of clothing fold it neatly and place it on the chair. I haven't any use at all for little girls who aren't neat." -- | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| a6a1e83 | It was really dreadful to be so different from other people . . . and yet rather wonderful, too, as if you were a being strayed from another star. Hazel would not have been one of the common herd for anything . . . no matter what she suffered by reason of her differentness. | L.M. Montgomery | ||

| 93ef1b5 | The path of genius never did run smooth. But have another piece av cake--do, just to show there's something human about you." "Ve, merry ti. O del re dolman cosey aman ri sen ritter. That means, 'No, thank you. I must be going home before it gets dark." | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 8d412c5 | I am sure we should not shut our hearts against the healing influences that nature offers us. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 062bf5f | Leslie turned herself about passionately. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| f5c5928 | My life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes.' That's a sentence I read in a book once, and I say it over to comfort myself whenever I'm disappointed in anything. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 8a5b02e | I don't think listening to Mr. Howard's arguments is likely to do me much harm. Mind you, I believe what I was brought up to believe. It saves a vast of bother--and back of it all, God is good. The trouble with Mr. Howard is that he's a leetle TOO clever. He thinks that he's bound to live up to his cleverness, and that it's smarter to thrash out some new way of getting to heaven than to go by the old track the common, ignorant folks is trav.. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 2ffe5d6 | Oh, I wouldn't have minded its being heretical. I can stand wickedness, but I can't stand foolishness, | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 5dae0a9 | I've done my best and I begin to understand what is meant by the 'joy of the strife.' Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing. | L.M. Montgomery | ||

| 024a613 | But I can't believe in fairies myself," protested Emily sorrowfully. "I wish I could." "But you are a fairy yourself" | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| e2c9f8e | Anne," said Leslie, breaking abruptly a short silence, "you don't know how GOOD it is to be sitting here with you again -- working -- and talking -- and being silent together." | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 780545c | I wonder why people so commonly suppose that if two individuals are both writers they must therefore be hugely congenial," said Anne, rather scornfully. "Nobody would expect two blacksmiths to be violently attracted toward each other merely because they were both blacksmiths." | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 3eeebb9 | But play the game of life according to the rules. You might as well, because you can't cheat life in the end. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 0280d3b | Emily, thus dashed to earth, moved back to her seat in a daze. Her smitten cheek was crimson, but the wound was in her heart. One moment ago in the seventh heaven--and now this--pain, humiliation, misunderstanding! | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| df247c1 | Well, Jem was to be a soldier and see a greater battle than had ever been fought in the world; but that was as yet far in the future; and the mother, whose first-born son he was, was wont to look on her boys and thank God that the "brave days of old," | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| c78ad6c | Well, we're not getting a girl," said Marilla, as if poisoning wells were a purely feminine accomplishment and not to be dreaded in the case of a boy." | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 14590bd | The day never goes by for men and nations to make asses of themselves and take to the fists. | L.M. Montgomery | ||

| 144b898 | I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June. --L. M. MONTGOMERY June | Sarah Ban Breathnach | ||
| 6d06757 | Miss Barry, who was sitting behind them, leaned forward and poked Marilla in the back with her parasol. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 686b368 | when the darkness is close to us it is a friend. But when we sorter push it away from us--divorce ourselves from it, so to speak, with lantern light--it becomes an enemy. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 6205126 | I'd write of people and places like I knew, and I'd make my characters talk everyday English; and I'd let the sun rise and set in the usual quiet way without much fuss over the fact. If I had to have villains at all, I'd give them a chance, Anne--I'd give them a chance. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| ab28e19 | Slowly the banners of the sunset city gave up their crimson and gold; slowly the conqueror's pageant faded out. Twilight crept over the valley and the little group grew silent. Walter had been reading again that day in his beloved book of myths and he remembered how he had once fancied the Pied Piper coming down the valley on an evening just like this. He | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 48a6aba | Ain't it strange how innocent little creatures like children like the blood-thirstiest stories? | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 8942a86 | But we can't have things perfect in this imperfect world, as Mrs. Lynde says. Mrs. Lynde isn't exactly a comforting person sometimes, but there's no doubt she says a great many very true things. | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| b419618 | No, I don't want you to kiss me--yet. And our first kiss mustn't have the flavour of good-bye. It would be a bad omen. Star o' Morning, I'm sorry you're going. But I'll see you again before long. | L.M. Montgomery |
