Em’s Quotes

“They were very happy, even after they discovered that they couldn't live on love alone.”
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

“If rank and money come with love and virtue, also, I should accept them gratefully, and enjoy your good fortune, but I know, by experience, how much genuine happiness can be had in a plain little house, where the daily bread is earned, and in some privations give sweetness to the few pleasures. I am content to see Meg begin humbly, for if I am not mistaken, she will be rich in the possession of a good man's heart, and that is better than fortune.”
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

“Yes, I remember, but the life I wanted then seems selfish, lonely, and cold to me now. I haven't given up the hope that may write a good book yet, but I can wait, and I'm sure it will be the better for such experiences and illustrations as these,”
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

“All these years, they’ve been like two little plants sharing the same plot of soil, growing around one another, contorting to make room, taking certain unlikely positions.”
― Sally Rooney, Normal People

“You'll get over this after a while, and find some lovely accomplished girl, who will adore you, and make a fine mistress for your fine house. I shouldn't. I'm homely and awkward and odd and old, and you'd be ashamed of me, and we should quarrel—we can't help it even now, you see—and I shouldn't like elegant society and you would, and you'd hate my scribbling, and I couldn't get on without it, and we should be unhappy, and wish we hadn't done it, and everything would be horrid!”
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women / Stage 3
