Silver Bush Quotes

“Pat sat on the garden bench until dawn came over the Hill of the Mist. The day had begun in a pale windless morning . . . the day on which mother was to go. Would she ever return?

That old hymn she had hated . . . "change and decay in all around I see."

Change was what she had always dreaded.

"Oh, Thou who changest not abide with me."

It was not a hateful hymn after all . . . it was a hymn to be loved. How wonderful to feel that there was something that never changed . . . a Power under and above and around on which you could depend. Peace seemed to flow into her.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Pat of Silver Bush

“All the months are friends of mine but apple month is the dearest," chanted Pat.

It was October at Silver Bush. . .”
― Lucy Maud Montgomery, Mistress Pat
