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
We don't choose our talents but we needn't hide them in a napkin because they are not just what we want.
Louisa May Alcott
where I wholly love I wholly trust.
