More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
We all have our own life to pursue, our own kind of dream to be weaving, and we all have the power to make wishes come true, as long as we keep believing.
Louisa May Alcott
Jo's face was a study next day, for the secret rather weighed upon her, and she found it hard not to look mysterious and important. Meg observed it, but did not troubled herself to make inquiries, for she had learned that the best way to manage Jo was by the law of contraries, so she felt sure of being told everything if she did not ask.
Louisa May Alcott
Young people think they never can change, but they do in the most wonderful manner, and very few die of broken hearts.
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
Oh dear, life is pretty tough sometimes, isn't it?
Louisa May Alcott
…misfortune was much more interesting to her than good luck.
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
…she rejoiced as only mothers can in the good fortunes of their children.
Louisa May Alcott
It takes people a long time to learn the difference between talent and genius, especially ambitious young men and women.
Louisa May Alcott
{Mrs. March to Jo} You are too much alike and too fond of freedom, not to mention hot tempers and strong wills, to get on happily together, in a relation which needs infinite patience and forbearance, as well as love.
Louisa May Alcott
Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.
Louisa May Alcott
…on some occasions, women, like dreams, go by contraries.
Louisa May Alcott
Don't try to make me grow up before my time.
Louisa May Alcott
Better lose your life than your soul.
Louisa May Alcott
The small hopes and plans and pleasures of children should be tenderly respected by grown-up people, and never rudely thwarted or ridiculed.
Louisa May Alcott
I could have been a great many things.
Louisa May Alcott
A child her wayward pencil drew On margins of her book Garlands of flower, dancing elves, Bud, butterfly, and brook, Lessons undone, and plum forgot, Seeking with hand and heart The teacher whom she learned to love Before she knew t'was Art.
Louisa May Alcott
[She was] kept there in the sort of embrace a man gives to the dearest creature the world holds for him.
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
You are like a chestnut burr, prickly outside, but silky-soft within, and a sweet kernel, if one can only get at it. Love will make you show your heart some day, and then the rough burr will fall off.
Louisa May Alcott
