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

Louisa May Alcott
Have regular hours for work and play make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success.
Louisa May Alcott
Resolved to take fate by the throat and shake a living out of her.
Louisa May Alcott
It was fortunate that tea was at hand, to produce a lull and provide refreshment,— for they would have been hoarse and faint if they had gone on much longer.
Louisa May Alcott
