“I am sure we should not shut our hearts against the healing influences that nature offers us. But I understand your feeling. I think we all experience the same thing. We resent the thought that anything can please us when someone we love is no longer here to share the pleasure with us, and we almost feel as if we were unfaithful to our sorrow when we find our interest in life returning to us.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

“I love my garden, and I love working in it. To potter with green growing things, watching each day to see the dear, new sprouts come up, is like taking a hand in creation, I think. Just now my garden is like faith - the substance of things hoped for.”
― Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne's House of Dreams, 10 Books

“I went looking for my dreams outside of myself and discovered, it's not what the world holds for you, it's what you bring to it.”
― Lucy Maud Montgomery
