Mac looked up with the oddest of all his odd expressions
Louisa May Alcott
You have grown abominably lazy, and you like gossip, and waste time on frivolous things, you are contented to be petted and admired by silly people, instead of being loved and respected by wise ones.
Louisa May Alcott
To most the end comes as naturally and simply as sleep.
Louisa May Alcott
Dear me! how happy and good we'd be, if we had no worries!
Louisa May Alcott
Wouldn't it be fun if all the castles in the air which we make could come true and we could live in them?
Louisa May Alcott
