More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
John Brooke is acting dreadfully, and Meg likes it!
Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
Men are always ready to die for us, but not to make our lives worth having. Cheap sentiment and bad logic.
Louisa May Alcott
Love scenes, if genuine, are indescribable for to those who have enacted them the most elaborate description seems tame, and to those who have not, the simplest picture seems overdone.
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
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

Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
...for love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride.
Louisa May Alcott
Mac looked up with the oddest of all his odd expressions
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
where I wholly love I wholly trust.
Louisa May Alcott
Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.
Louisa May Alcott
So she enjoyed herself heartily, and found, what isn't always the case, that her granted wish was all she had hoped.
Louisa May Alcott
