March came in that winter like the meekest and mildest of lambs, bringing days that were crisp and golden and tingling, each followed by a frosty pink twilight which gradually lost itself in an elfland of moonshine.
LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY, Anne of the Island
Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?
LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY, Anne of Green Gables
Something just flashes into your mind, so exciting, and you must out with it. If you stop to think it over, you spoil it all.
LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY, Anne of Green Gables
Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one's life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one’s side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps ... perhaps ... love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath.

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.
L. M. MONTGOMERY, Anne of Green Gables
Gossip, as usual, was one-third right and two-thirds wrong.
L. M. MONTGOMERY, Chronicles of Avonlea
The body grows slowly and steadily but the soul grows by leaps and bounds. It may come to its full stature in an hour.
L. M. MONTGOMERY, Rilla of Ingleside
Of course, I knew there are no fairies; but that needn't prevent my thinking there is.
L. M. MONTGOMERY, Anne of Avonlea
Life is worth living as long as there's a laugh in it.
