More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
People cannot be molded like clay.
Louisa May Alcott
Some stories are so familiar its like going home.
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
All is fish that comes to the literary net. Goethe puts his joys and sorrows into poems, I turn my adventures into bread and butter.
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
Have your fun, my dear but if you must earn your bread, try to make it sweet with cheerfulness, not bitter with the daily regret that it isn't cake.
Louisa May Alcott
I think we are all hopelessly flawed.
Louisa May Alcott
I could have been a great many things.
Louisa May Alcott

Oh dear, life is pretty tough sometimes, isn't 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
It is never too early to try and plant [good principles] in a child, and never too late to cultivate them in the most neglected person.
Louisa May Alcott
Now we are expected to be as wise as men who have had generations of all the help there is, and we scarcely anything.
Louisa May Alcott
Don't mind me. I'm as happy as a cricket here.
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
Where's the use of looking nice, when no one sees me but those cross midgets, and no one cares whether I'm pretty or not?
Louisa May Alcott
Love is a great beautifier.
Louisa May Alcott
It takes people a long time to learn the difference between talent and genius, especially ambitious young men and women.
