We'll all grow up someday, Meg, we might as well know what we want. ~Amy March~

It's lovely to see people so happy.

It's a great comfort to have an artistic sister.

{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.

It takes so little to make a child happy, that it is a pity in a world full of sunshine and pleasant things, that there should be any wistful faces, empty hands, or lonely little hearts.

Dear me, if men and women would only trust, understand, and help one another as my children do, what a capital place the world would be!

Resolved to take fate by the throat and shake a living out of her.
