Louisa May Alcott
No love or pity, pardon or excuse should soften the sharp pang of reparation for the guilty man.
Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
…to the inspiration of necessity, we owe half the wise, beautiful, and useful blessings of the world.
Louisa May Alcott
All is fish that comes to the literary net. Goethe puts his joys and sorrows into poems, I turn my adventures into bread and butter.
Louisa May Alcott
She had a womanly instinct that clothes possess an influence more powerful over many than the worth of character or the magic of manners.
Louisa May Alcott
If life is often so hard as this, I don't see how we ever shall get through it.
Louisa May Alcott
