The Blue Castle Quotes

“Love you! Girl, you're in the very core of my heart. I hold you there like a jewel. Didn't I promise you I'd never tell you a lie? Love you! I love you with all there is of me to love. Heart, soul, brain. Every fibre of body and spirit thrilling to the sweetness of you. There's nobody in the world for me but you, Valancy.”
― L.M. Montgomery, The Blue Castle

“A plate of apples, an open fire, and a jolly good book are a fair substitute for heaven.”
― L.M. Montgomery (Author)

“One does not sleep well, sometimes, when one is twenty-nine on the morrow, and unmarried, in a community and connection where the unmarried are simply those who have failed to get a man.”

“You see — I've never had any real life. I've just — breathed.”
― L.M. Montgomery

“It was amazing to be able to sit up half the night and look at the moon if you wanted to. To be late for meals if you wanted to....Dawdle over meals as long as you wanted to. Leave your crusts if you wanted to. Not come home at all for meals if you wanted to. Sit on a sun-warm rock and paddle your bare feet in the hot sand if you wanted to. Just sit and do nothing in the beautiful silence if you wanted to. In short, do any fool thing you wanted to whenever the notion took you. If that wasn't freedom, what was?”
― L. M. Montgomery, The Blue Castle
