…proved that woman isn't a half but a whole human being, and can stand alone.
Louisa May Alcott
It takes people a long time to learn the difference between talent and genius, especially ambitious young men and women.
Louisa May Alcott
My only answer is, if my grave stood open on one side and you upon the other I'd go into my grave before I would take one step to meet you.

...a capital patient, as she never died and never got well.
Louisa May Alcott
A faithful friend is a strong defense And he that hath found him hath found a treasure.
