More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
where I wholly love I wholly trust.
Louisa May Alcott
November is the most disagreeable month in the whole year, said Margaret, standing at the window one dull afternoon, looking out at the frostbitten garden. That's the reason I was born in it, observed Jo pensively, quite unconscious of the blot on her nose.
Louisa May Alcott
…to the inspiration of necessity, we owe half the wise, beautiful, and useful blessings of the world.
Louisa May Alcott
Housekeeping ain't no joke.
Louisa May Alcott
So she enjoyed herself heartily, and found, what isn't always the case, that her granted wish was all she had hoped.
Louisa May Alcott
You are like a chestnut burr, prickly outside, but silky-soft within, and a sweet kernel, if one can only get at it. Love will make you show your heart some day, and then the rough burr will fall off.
Louisa May Alcott
Men are often bad, but babies never are.
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
…often between ourselves and those nearest and dearest to us there exists a reserve which it is very hard to overcome.
Louisa May Alcott
Girls are so queer you never know what they mean. They say No when they mean Yes, and drive a man out of his wits for the fun of it.
Louisa May Alcott
…she was one of those happily created beings who please without effort, make friends everywhere, and take life so gracefully and easily that less fortunate souls are tempted to believe that such are born under a lucky star.
Louisa May Alcott
{Mrs. March to Jo} You are too much alike and too fond of freedom, not to mention hot tempers and strong wills, to get on happily together, in a relation which needs infinite patience and forbearance, as well as love.
Louisa May Alcott
Jo's ambition was to do something very splendid what it was she had no idea, as yet, but left it for time to tell her.
Louisa May Alcott
Now I'm beginning to live a little and feel less like a sick oyster at low tide.
Louisa May Alcott
I went [to war] because I couldn't help it. I didn't want the glory or the pay I wanted the right thing done.
Louisa May Alcott
But many of the bravest never are known, and get no praise. That does not lessen their beauty.
Louisa May Alcott
I had a pleasant time with my mind, for it was happy.
Louisa May Alcott
A child her wayward pencil drew On margins of her book Garlands of flower, dancing elves, Bud, butterfly, and brook, Lessons undone, and plum forgot, Seeking with hand and heart The teacher whom she learned to love Before she knew t'was Art.
Louisa May Alcott
