More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
I had a pleasant time with my mind, for it was happy.
Louisa May Alcott
Back to him she would never go, but in her lonely life still lived the sweet memory of that happy time when she believed in him and he was all in all to her.
Louisa May Alcott
…tomorrow was her birthday, and she was thinking how fast the years went by, how old she was getting, and how little she seemed to have accomplished. Almost twenty-five and nothing to show for it.
Louisa May Alcott
And when they went away, leaving comfort behind, I think there were not in all the city four merrier people than the hungry little girls who gave away their breakfasts and contented themselves with bread and milk on Christmas morning.
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
Salt is like good-humor, and nearly every thing is better for a pinch of it.
Louisa May Alcott
The patience and the humility of the face she loved so well was a better lesson to Jo than the wisest lecture, the sharpest reproof.
Louisa May Alcott
I don't think secrets agree with me, I feel rumpled up in mind since you told me that.
Louisa May Alcott
Be worthy love, and love will come.
Louisa May Alcott
Ridicule is often harder to bear than self-denial.
Louisa May Alcott
Preserve your memories, keep them well, what you forget you can never retell.
Louisa May Alcott
I've learned to check the hasty words that rise to my lips, and when I feel that they mean to break out against my will, I just go away for a minute, and give myself a little shake for being so weak and wicked.
Louisa May Alcott
I don't like favors they oppress and make me fell like a slave. I'd rather do everything for myself, and be perfectly independent.
Louisa May Alcott
I will make a battering-ram of my head and make my way through this rough and tumble world.
Louisa May Alcott
I like good strong words that mean something.
Louisa May Alcott
I like to help women help themselves, as that is, in my opinion, the best way to settle the woman question. Whatever we can do and do well we have a right to, and I don't think any one will deny us.
Louisa May Alcott
She began to see that character is a better possession than money, rank, intellect, or beauty, and to feel that if greatness is what a wise man has defined it to be, 'truth, reverence, and good will,' then her friend Friedrich Bhaer was not only good, but great.
Louisa May Alcott
It takes three or four women to get each man into, through, and out of the world.
Louisa May Alcott
Men are always ready to die for us, but not to make our lives worth having. Cheap sentiment and bad logic.
Louisa May Alcott
...freedom being the sauce best beloved by the boyish soul.
Louisa May Alcott
