More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Men are often bad, but babies never are.
Louisa May Alcott
I believe that it is as much a right and duty for women to do something with their lives as for men and we are not going to be satisfied with such frivolous parts as you give us.
Louisa May Alcott
I have nothing to give but my heart so full and these empty hands. They're not empty now.
Louisa May Alcott
. . . for when women are the advisers, the lords of creation don't take the advice till they have persuaded themselves that it is just what they intended to do. Then they act upon it, and, if it succeeds, they give the weaker vessel half the credit of it. If it fails, they generously give her the whole.
Louisa May Alcott
The patience and the humility of the face she loved so well was a better lesson to Jo than the wisest lecture, the sharpest reproof.
Louisa May Alcott
Some books are so familiar that reading them is like being home again.
Louisa May Alcott
We don't choose our talents but we needn't hide them in a napkin because they are not just what we want.

Louisa May Alcott
Girls are so queer you never know what they mean. They say No when they mean Yes, and drive a man out of his wits for the fun of it.
Louisa May Alcott
Jo's face was a study next day, for the secret rather weighed upon her, and she found it hard not to look mysterious and important. Meg observed it, but did not troubled herself to make inquiries, for she had learned that the best way to manage Jo was by the law of contraries, so she felt sure of being told everything if she did not ask.
Louisa May Alcott
I'm perfectly miserable but if you consider me presentable, I die happy.
Louisa May Alcott
Don't mind me. I'm as happy as a cricket here.
Louisa May Alcott
books have been my greatest comfort, castle-building a never-failing delight, and scribbling a very profitable amusement.
Louisa May Alcott
Money is a needful and precious thing
Louisa May Alcott
You don’t need scores of suitors. You need only one… if he’s the right one.
Louisa May Alcott
Conceit spoils the finest genius?and the great charm of all power is modesty.
Louisa May Alcott
Youth, health and freedom were meant to be enjoyed and I want to try every pleasure before I am too old to enjoy them.
Louisa May Alcott
All is fish that comes to the literary net. Goethe puts his joys and sorrows into poems, I turn my adventures into bread and butter.
