Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
Every few weeks she would shut herself up in her room, put on her scribbling suit, and fall into a vortex, as she expressed it, writing away at her novel with all her heart and soul, for till that was finished she could find no peace.
Louisa May Alcott

If we are all alive ten years hence, let's meet, and see how many of us have got our wishes, or how much nearer we are then than now.

I don't like favors they oppress and make me fell like a slave. I'd rather do everything for myself, and be perfectly independent.
