Louisa May Alcott
Fame is a very good thing to have in the house, but cash is more convenient.
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
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
Conceit spoils the finest genius?and the great charm of all power is modesty.
Louisa May Alcott
Men are often bad, but babies never are.
Louisa May Alcott
Oh, Jo, how could you? Your one beauty.
Louisa May Alcott
Don't try to make me grow up before my time.
Louisa May Alcott
A quick temper, sharp tongue, and restless spirit were always getting her into scrapes, and her life was a series of ups and downs, which were both comic and pathetic.
Louisa May Alcott
