I hate to think I've got to grow up, and be Miss March, and wear long gowns, and look as prim as a China aster! It's bad enough to be a girl anyway, when I like boys' games and work and manners! I can't get over my disappointment in not being a boy; and it's worse than ever now, for I'm dying to go and fight with Papa, and I can only stay at home and knit, like a poky old woman.”
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

― John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

“Take some books and read; that’s an immense help; and books are always good company if you have the right sort.”
