Louisa May Alcott
Because they are mean is no reason why I should be. I hate such things, and though I think I've a right to be hurt, I don't intend to show it. (Amy March)
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
But the spirit of Eve is strong in all her daughters.
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
The dirt is picturesque, so I don't mind.
Louisa May Alcott
…to the inspiration of necessity, we owe half the wise, beautiful, and useful blessings of the world.
