Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
I want to be great, or nothing. I won't be a commonplace dauber, so I don't intend to try any more.
Louisa May Alcott
I like good strong words that mean something.
Louisa May Alcott
Now I'm beginning to live a little and feel less like a sick oyster at low tide.
Louisa May Alcott
But many of the bravest never are known, and get no praise. That does not lessen their beauty.
Louisa May Alcott
...for love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride.
Louisa May Alcott
Six weeks is a long time to wait, and a still longer time for a girl to keep a secret.
Louisa May Alcott
Work is and always has been my salvation and I thank the Lord for it.
Louisa May Alcott
…because talent isn't genius, and no amount of energy can make it so. I want to be great, or nothing.
Louisa May Alcott
It is my opinion that this day will never come to an end, said Prince, with a yawn that nearly rent him assunder.
Louisa May Alcott
