Louisa May Alcott Quotes

On, I Don't Think I'm A Genius!' Cried Josie, Growing Calm And Sober As She Listened To The Melodious Voice And Looked Into The Expressive Face That Filled Her With Confidence, So Strong, Sincere And Kindly Was It. 'I Only Want To Find Out If I Have Talent Enough To Go On, And After Years Of Study Be Able To Act Well In Any Of The Good Plays People Never Tire Of Seeing. I Don't Expected To Be A Mrs. Siddons Or A Miss Cameron, Much As I Long To Be; But It Does Seem As If I Had Something In Me Which Can't Come Out In Any Way But This. When I Act I'm Perfectly Happy. I Seem To Live, To Be In My Own World, And Each New Part Is A New Friend. I Love Shakespeare, And Am Never Tired Of His Splendid People. Of Course I Don't Understand It All; But It's Like Being Alone At Night With The Mountains And The Stars, Solemn And Grand, And I Try To Imagine How It Will Look When The Sun Comes Up, And All Is Glorious And Clear To Me. I Can't See, But I Feel The Beauty, And Long To Express It.
