Louisa May Alcott
I am lonely, sometimes, but I dare say it's good for me.
Louisa May Alcott
So she enjoyed herself heartily, and found, what isn't always the case, that her granted wish was all she had hoped.
Louisa May Alcott
We don't choose our talents but we needn't hide them in a napkin because they are not just what we want.
Louisa May Alcott
I did fail, say what you will, for Jo wouldn't love me.
Louisa May Alcott
