Louisa May Alcott
She preferred imaginary heroes to real ones, because when tired of them, the former could be shut up in the tin kitchen till called for, and the latter were less manageable.
Louisa May Alcott
If we are all alive ten years hence, let's meet, and see how many of us have got our wishes, or how much nearer we are then than now.
Louisa May Alcott
books have been my greatest comfort, castle-building a never-failing delight, and scribbling a very profitable amusement.
Louisa May Alcott
I don't worry about the storms, I am learning to sail my own ship.
