You have the itch for writing born in you. It's quite incura... - L.M. Montgomery

"A broken heart in real life isn't half as dreadful as it is in books. It's a good deal like a bad tooth, though you won't think THAT a very romantic simile. It takes spells of aching and gives you a sleepless night now and then, but between times it lets you enjoy life and dreams and echoes and peanut candy as if there were nothing the matter with it."

"I am simply a 'book drunkard.' Books have the same irresistible temptation for me that liquor has for its devotee. I cannot withstand them."

"Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?"

"And if you couldn't be loved, the next best thing was to be let alone."
