Louisa May AlcottI want to do something splendidโฆ Something heroic or wonderful that wonโt be forgotten after Iโm deadโฆ I think I shall write books.
Louisa May AlcottI put in my list all the busy, useful independent spinsters I know, for liberty is a better husband than love to many of us.
Louisa May AlcottI keep turning over new leaves, and spoiling them, as I used to spoil my copybooks; and I make so many beginnings there never will be an end. (Jo March)
