More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
life and love are very precious when both are in full bloom.
Louisa May Alcott
Laurie, you're an angel! How shall I ever thank you? Fly at me again. I rather liked it, said Laurie, looking mischievous, a thing he had not done for a fortnight.
Louisa May Alcott
I've neither beauty, money, nor rank, yet every foolish boy mistakes my frank interest for something warmer, and makes me miserable. It is my misfortune. Think of me what you will, but beware of me in time, for against my will I may do you harm.
Louisa May Alcott
If I didn't care about doing right and didn't feel uncomfortable doing wrong, I should get on capitally.
Louisa May Alcott
I'm tired of praise and love is very sweet, when it is simple and sincere like this.
Louisa May Alcott
...a capital patient, as she never died and never got well.
Louisa May Alcott
She preferred imaginary heroes to real ones, because when tired of them, the former could be shut up in the tin kitchen till called for, and the latter were less manageable.
Louisa May Alcott
A quick temper, sharp tongue, and restless spirit were always getting her into scrapes, and her life was a series of ups and downs, which were both comic and pathetic.
Louisa May Alcott
I'm perfectly miserable but if you consider me presentable, I die happy.
Louisa May Alcott
Where's the use of looking nice, when no one sees me but those cross midgets, and no one cares whether I'm pretty or not?
Louisa May Alcott
Love scenes, if genuine, are indescribable for to those who have enacted them the most elaborate description seems tame, and to those who have not, the simplest picture seems overdone.
Louisa May Alcott
It was fortunate that tea was at hand, to produce a lull and provide refreshment,— for they would have been hoarse and faint if they had gone on much longer.
Louisa May Alcott
Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.
Louisa May Alcott
If life is often so hard as this, I don't see how we ever shall get through it.
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
The clocks were striking midnight and the rooms were very still as a figure glided quietly from bed to bed, smoothing a coverlid here, settling a pillow there, and pausing to look long and tenderly at each unconscious face, to kiss each with lips that mutely blessed, and to pray the fervent prayers which only mothers utter.
Louisa May Alcott
She had a womanly instinct that clothes possess an influence more powerful over many than the worth of character or the magic of manners.
Louisa May Alcott
Now we are expected to be as wise as men who have had generations of all the help there is, and we scarcely anything.
Louisa May Alcott
The emerging woman ... will be strong-minded, strong-hearted, strong-souled, and strong-bodied...strength and beauty must go together.
Louisa May Alcott
Such hours are beautiful to live, but very hard to describe.
Louisa May Alcott
