More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Poor dull Concord. Nothing colorful has come through here since the Redcoats.
Louisa May Alcott
Love is the only thing that we can carry with us when we go, and it makes the end so easy.
Louisa May Alcott
I like good strong words that mean something.
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
…often between ourselves and those nearest and dearest to us there exists a reserve which it is very hard to overcome.
Louisa May Alcott
Beth ceased to fear him from that moment, and sat there talking to him as cozily as if she had known him all her life, for love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride.
Louisa May Alcott
The fear of being an old maid made young girls rush into matrimony with a recklessness that astonishes.
Louisa May Alcott
Fame is a very good thing to have in the house, but cash is more convenient.
Louisa May Alcott
I have nothing to give but my heart so full and these empty hands. They're not empty now.
Louisa May Alcott
A faithful friend is a strong defense And he that hath found him hath found a treasure.
Louisa May Alcott
Dear me! how happy and good we'd be, if we had no worries!
Louisa May Alcott
I put in my list all the busy, useful independent spinsters I know, for liberty is a better husband than love to many of us.
Louisa May Alcott
books have been my greatest comfort, castle-building a never-failing delight, and scribbling a very profitable amusement.
Louisa May Alcott
All is fish that comes to the literary net. Goethe puts his joys and sorrows into poems, I turn my adventures into bread and butter.
Louisa May Alcott
Oh dear, life is pretty tough sometimes, isn't it?
Louisa May Alcott
Don't cry so bitterly, but remember this day, and resolve with all your soul that you will never know another like it.
Louisa May Alcott
Money is a needful and precious thing, and when well used, a noble thing, but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to strive for. I'd rather see you poor men's wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self-respect and peace.
Louisa May Alcott
I've neither beauty, money, nor rank, yet every foolish boy mistakes my frank interest for something warmer, and makes me miserable. It is my misfortune. Think of me what you will, but beware of me in time, for against my will I may do you harm.
Louisa May Alcott
... because I have fallen in love with so many pretty girls and never once the least bit with any man.
Louisa May Alcott
I'm perfectly miserable but if you consider me presentable, I die happy.
Louisa May Alcott
