I often think flowers are the angels' alphabet whereby they write on hills and fields mysterious and beautiful lessons for us to feel and learn.

We've got minds and souls as well as hearts; ambition and talents as well as beauty and accomplishments; and we want to live and learn as well as love and be loved. I'm sick of being told that is all a woman is fit for! I won't have anything to do with love until I prove that I am something beside a housekeeper and a baby-tender!

My father taught in the wise way which unfolds what lies in the child

A faithful friend is a strong defense; And he that hath found him hath found a treasure.

My only answer is, if my grave stood open on one side and you upon the other I'd go into my grave before I would take one step to meet you.

Oh, Jo, how could you? Your one beauty.

I for one don't want to be ranked among idiots, felons, and minors any longer, for I am none of them.
