Louisa May Alcott
Don't mind me. I'm as happy as a cricket here.
Louisa May Alcott
Where the heart is the mind works best.
Louisa May Alcott
…misfortune was much more interesting to her than good luck.

I don't think secrets agree with me, I feel rumpled up in mind since you told me that.
Louisa May Alcott
The small hopes and plans and pleasures of children should be tenderly respected by grown-up people, and never rudely thwarted or ridiculed.
Louisa May Alcott
Ridicule is often harder to bear than self-denial.
