More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Jo's breath gave out here, and wrapping her head in the paper, she bedewed her little story with a few natural tears, for to be independent and earn the praise of those she loved were the dearest wishes of her heart, and this seemed to be the first step toward that happy end.
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
If we are all alive ten years hence, let's meet, and see how many of us have got our wishes, or how much nearer we are then than now.
Louisa May Alcott
…what splendid dreams young people build upon a word, and how bitter is the pain when the bright bubbles burst.
Louisa May Alcott
Human minds are more full of mysteries than any written book and more changeable than the cloud shapes in the air.
Louisa May Alcott
politics were as bad as mathematics, and that the mission of politicians seemed to be calling each other names

Louisa May Alcott
Wouldn't it be fun if all the castles in the air which we make could come true and we could live in them?
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
The fear of being an old maid made young girls rush into matrimony with a recklessness that astonishes.
Louisa May Alcott
Rome took all the vanity out of me for after seeing the wonders there, I felt too insignificant to live, and gave up all my foolish hopes in despair.
Louisa May Alcott
You have grown abominably lazy, and you like gossip, and waste time on frivolous things, you are contented to be petted and admired by silly people, instead of being loved and respected by wise ones.
Louisa May Alcott
Work is and always has been my salvation and I thank the Lord for it.
Louisa May Alcott
Money is a needful and precious thing, and when well used, a noble thing, but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to strive for. I'd rather see you poor men's wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self-respect and peace.
Louisa May Alcott
Life is my university, and I hope to graduate from it with some distinction.
Louisa May Alcott
Books are always good company if you have the right sort.
Louisa May Alcott
