Little Women quotes

  • Josephine 'Jo' March: Doesn't he have a noble brow? If I were a boy I'd want to look just like that.

  • Jo March: I find it poor logic to say that because women are good, women should vote. Men do not vote because they are good; they vote because they are male, and women should vote, not because we are angels and men are animals, but because we are human beings and citizens of this country.

    Mr. Mayer: You should have been a lawyer, Miss March.

    Jo March: I should have been a great many things, Mr. Mayer.
