More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
…Jo loved a few persons very dearly and dreaded to have their affection lost or lessened in any way.
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
What do girls do who haven't any mothers to help them through their troubles?
Louisa May Alcott
. . . for when women are the advisers, the lords of creation don't take the advice till they have persuaded themselves that it is just what they intended to do. Then they act upon it, and, if it succeeds, they give the weaker vessel half the credit of it. If it fails, they generously give her the whole.

Louisa May Alcott
I'm perfectly miserable but if you consider me presentable, I die happy.
Louisa May Alcott
If people really want to go, and really try all their lives, I think they will get in for I don't believe there are any locks on that door, or any guards at the gate. I always imagine it is as it is in the picture, where the shining ones stretch out their hands to welcome poor Christian as he comes up from the river.
Louisa May Alcott
November is the most disagreeable month in the whole year, said Margaret, standing at the window one dull afternoon, looking out at the frostbitten garden. That's the reason I was born in it, observed Jo pensively, quite unconscious of the blot on her nose.
Louisa May Alcott
Conceit spoils the finest genius?and the great charm of all power is modesty.
Louisa May Alcott
Liberty must not be abused.
Louisa May Alcott
where I wholly love I wholly trust.
Louisa May Alcott
My only answer is, if my grave stood open on one side and you upon the other I'd go into my grave before I would take one step to meet you.
Louisa May Alcott
Money is the root of all evil, and yet it is such a useful root that we cannot get on without it any more than we can without potatoes.
Louisa May Alcott
