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
…because talent isn't genius, and no amount of energy can make it so. I want to be great, or nothing.
Louisa May Alcott
Oh, Jo, how could you? Your one beauty.
