Louisa May Alcott
...and the most intense desire gave force to her passionate words as the girl glanced despairingly about the dreary room like a caged creature on the point of breaking loose.
Louisa May Alcott
To most the end comes as naturally and simply as sleep.
Louisa May Alcott
Love is a beautifier.
Louisa May Alcott
I think we are all hopelessly flawed.
Louisa May Alcott
Simple, sincere people seldom speak much of their piety it shows itself in acts rather than words, and has more influence than homilies or protestations.
Louisa May Alcott
Rome took all the vanity out of me for after seeing the wonders there, I felt too insignificant to live, and gave up all my foolish hopes in despair.
Louisa May Alcott
it was easier to do a friendly thing than it was to stay and be thanked for it.
Louisa May Alcott
