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
Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.
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
Don't mind me. I'm as happy as a cricket here.
Louisa May Alcott
Money is a needful and precious thing
