Lucy Maud
loyalty laughter lying
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.
dream reality may
You may tire of reality but you never tire of dreams.
ideas laughing people
People laugh at me because I use big words. But if you have big ideas, you have to use big words to express them, haven't you?
thinking interesting would-be
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.
prayer laughing sometimes
A good laugh is as good as a prayer sometimes.
suffering height depth
Those who can soar to the highest heights can also plunge to the deepest depths and the natures which enjoy most keenly are those which also suffer most sharply.
writing reason-why being-true
one reason why I like writing poetry - you can say so many things in it that are true in poetry but wouldn't be true in prose.
memories long remember
Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.
mistake laughing overcoming
Humor is the spiciest condiment in the feast of existence. Laugh at your mistakes but learn from them, joke over your troubles but gather strength from them, make a jest of your difficulties but overcome them.
beautiful summer memories
All in all, it was a never-to-be-forgotten summer — one of those summers which come seldom into any life, but leave a rich heritage of beautiful memories in their going — one of those summers which, in a fortunate combination of delightful weather, delightful friends and delightful doing, come as near to perfection as anything can come in this world.
littles all-things wounds
All things great are wound up with all things little.
silence trying half
If you can sit in silence with a person for half an hour and yet be entirely comfortable, you and that person can be friends. If you cannot, friends you'll never be and you need not waste time in trying.
believe home simple
After all," Anne had said to Marilla once, "I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.
eye home thinking
An old house with its windows gone always makes me think of something dead with its eyes picked out.
