Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
…on some occasions, women, like dreams, go by contraries.
Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
…she rejoiced as only mothers can in the good fortunes of their children.
Louisa May Alcott
I like to help women help themselves, as that is, in my opinion, the best way to settle the woman question. Whatever we can do and do well we have a right to, and I don't think any one will deny us.
Louisa May Alcott
Well, I am happy, and I won't fret, but it does seem as if the more one gets the more one wants.
Louisa May Alcott
Nothing seemed impossible in the beginning.
Louisa May Alcott
John Brooke is acting dreadfully, and Meg likes it!
Louisa May Alcott
The moment Aunt March took her nap, or was busy with company, Jo hurried to this quiet place, and curling herself up in the easy chair, devoured poetry, romance, history, travels, and pictures like a regular bookworm.
