Louisa May Alcott
I don't think secrets agree with me, I feel rumpled up in mind since you told me that.

…misfortune was much more interesting to her than good luck.
Louisa May Alcott
You have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty.

Louisa May Alcott
If people really want to go, and really try all their lives, I think they will get in for I don't believe there are any locks on that door, or any guards at the gate. I always imagine it is as it is in the picture, where the shining ones stretch out their hands to welcome poor Christian as he comes up from the river.
Louisa May Alcott
I hate ordinary people!
Louisa May Alcott
Nothing seemed impossible in the beginning.
Louisa May Alcott
Conceit spoils the finest genius?and the great charm of all power is modesty.
Louisa May Alcott
Now and then genius carries all before it, but not often. We have to climb slowly, with many slips and falls.
Louisa May Alcott
I put in my list all the busy, useful independent spinsters I know, for liberty is a better husband than love to many of us.
Louisa May Alcott
Beth ceased to fear him from that moment, and sat there talking to him as cozily as if she had known him all her life, for love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride.
Louisa May Alcott
I have nothing to give but my heart so full and these empty hands. They're not empty now.
Louisa May Alcott
