Louisa May Alcott
Where the heart is the mind works best.
Louisa May Alcott
It is my opinion that this day will never come to an end, said Prince, with a yawn that nearly rent him assunder.
Louisa May Alcott
…on some occasions, women, like dreams, go by contraries.
Louisa May Alcott
Love and Loyalty If ever men and women are their simplest, sincerest selves, it is when suffering softens the one, and sympathy strengthens the other.
Louisa May Alcott
Help one another is part of the religion of our sisterhood.
Louisa May Alcott
I was thinking what a curious thing love is only a sentiment, and yet it has power to make fools of men and slaves of women.
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
