More quotes by 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
The dirt is picturesque, so I don't mind.
Louisa May Alcott
But the spirit of Eve is strong in all her daughters.
Louisa May Alcott
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.

It takes three or four women to get each man into, through, and out of the world.
Louisa May Alcott
Young people think they never can change, but they do in the most wonderful manner, and very few die of broken hearts.
Louisa May Alcott
If people really want to go, and really try all their lives, I think they will get in for I don't believe there are any locks on that door, or any guards at the gate.

Louisa May Alcott
Well, if I can't be happy, I can be useful, perhaps.
Louisa May Alcott
In the midst of her tears came the thought, When people are in danger, they ask God to save them and, slipping down upon her knees, she said her prayer as she had never said it before, for when human help seems gone we turn to Him as naturally as lost children cry to their father, and feel sure that he will hear and answer them.
Louisa May Alcott
Because they are mean is no reason why I should be. I hate such things, and though I think I've a right to be hurt, I don't intend to show it. (Amy March)
Louisa May Alcott
…often between ourselves and those nearest and dearest to us there exists a reserve which it is very hard to overcome.
Louisa May Alcott
The small hopes and plans and pleasures of children should be tenderly respected by grown-up people, and never rudely thwarted or ridiculed.
Louisa May Alcott
Poor dull Concord. Nothing colorful has come through here since the Redcoats.
Louisa May Alcott
Jo had learned that hearts, like flowers, cannot be rudely handled, but must open naturally.
Louisa May Alcott
Wealth is certainly a most desirable thing, but poverty has its sunny side, and one of the sweet uses of adversity is the genuine satisfaction which comes from hearty work of head or hand, and to the inspiration of necessity, we owe half the wise, beautiful, and useful blessings of the world.
Louisa May Alcott
