Louisa May Alcott quotes
I ask not for any crown But that which all may win; Nor try to conquer any world Except the one within.
I want to do something splendid... Something heroic or wonderful that won't be forgotten after I'm dead... I think I shall write books.
Because they are mean is no reason why I should be. I hate such things, and though I think I've a right to be hurt, I don't intend to show it.
I 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.
Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.
