More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
But the spirit of Eve is strong in all her daughters.
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
Such hours are beautiful to live, but very hard to describe.
Louisa May Alcott
I went [to war] because I couldn't help it. I didn't want the glory or the pay I wanted the right thing done.
Louisa May Alcott
No love or pity, pardon or excuse should soften the sharp pang of reparation for the guilty man.
Louisa May Alcott
Work is and always has been my salvation and I thank the Lord for it.
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
You are like a chestnut burr, prickly outside, but silky-soft within, and a sweet kernel, if one can only get at it. Love will make you show your heart some day, and then the rough burr will fall off.
Louisa May Alcott
…marriage, they say, halves one's rights and doubles one's duties.
Louisa May Alcott
Nothing is impossible to a determined woman.
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
I'm tired of praise and love is very sweet, when it is simple and sincere like this.
Louisa May Alcott
Youth, health and freedom were meant to be enjoyed and I want to try every pleasure before I am too old to enjoy them.
Louisa May Alcott
Now I'm beginning to live a little and feel less like a sick oyster at low tide.
Louisa May Alcott
She had a womanly instinct that clothes possess an influence more powerful over many than the worth of character or the magic of manners.
Louisa May Alcott
It was fortunate that tea was at hand, to produce a lull and provide refreshment,— for they would have been hoarse and faint if they had gone on much longer.
Louisa May Alcott
I love my liberty too well to be in a hurry to give it up for any mortal man.
Louisa May Alcott
To most the end comes as naturally and simply as sleep.
Louisa May Alcott
…she was one of those happily created beings who please without effort, make friends everywhere, and take life so gracefully and easily that less fortunate souls are tempted to believe that such are born under a lucky star.
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
