More quotes by Louisa May Alcott

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
What do girls do who haven't any mothers to help them through their troubles?
Louisa May Alcott
Souls and bodies should go on together.
Louisa May Alcott
I don't worry about the storms, I am learning to sail my own ship.
Louisa May Alcott
...and best of all, the wilderness of books, in which she could wander, where she liked, made the library a region of bliss to her.
Louisa May Alcott
Love is apt to make lunatics of even men and saints.
Louisa May Alcott
Jo's face was a study next day, for the secret rather weighed upon her, and she found it hard not to look mysterious and important. Meg observed it, but did not troubled herself to make inquiries, for she had learned that the best way to manage Jo was by the law of contraries, so she felt sure of being told everything if she did not ask.
Louisa May Alcott
Life is my university, and I hope to graduate from it with some distinction.
Louisa May Alcott
She began to see that character is a better possession than money, rank, intellect, or beauty, and to feel that if greatness is what a wise man has defined it to be, 'truth, reverence, and good will,' then her friend Friedrich Bhaer was not only good, but great.
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
And when they went away, leaving comfort behind, I think there were not in all the city four merrier people than the hungry little girls who gave away their breakfasts and contented themselves with bread and milk on Christmas morning.
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
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
Don't shut yourself up in a band box because you are a woman, but understand what is going on, and educate yourself to take part in the world's work, for it all affects you and yours.
Louisa May Alcott
[She was] kept there in the sort of embrace a man gives to the dearest creature the world holds for him.
Louisa May Alcott
...and the most intense desire gave force to her passionate words as the girl glanced despairingly about the dreary room like a caged creature on the point of breaking loose.
Louisa May Alcott
...for a girl with eyes like hers has a will and is not ruled by anyone but a lover.
Louisa May Alcott
People don't have fortunes left them in that style nowadays men have to work and women to marry for money. It's a dreadfully unjust world.
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.
Louisa May Alcott
