你終有一天會愛上一個人，而我只能袖手旁觀。
女人有思想、靈魂、才華和野心，正如同她們擁有溫柔與美貌，我受夠聽大家說愛情是女人的全部。
女孩子得走出家門、走進這個世界，要對所有事物建構出自己的一套看法。
我永不屈就於命運，我要活出屬於自己的人生。
我現在寧可喝咖啡，也不要聽人家諂媚。
婚姻中的和平與幸福，全有賴彼此的尊重維繫，注意自己的言行，如果雙方都有錯，妳就先道歉。克制住情緒、避免誤解，也別逞口舌之快，造成追悔莫及的傷痛。
時下已經沒有人靠遺產致富了。男人為了錢得工作，女人為了錢得嫁人。這個世界實在太不公了！
擁有一點才華，並不代表你就是天才，而且真正的天賦，是不管你有多努力都無法取得的。我想要大放異彩，否則我寧願沒沒無聞。
我不喜歡在火爐邊打盹。我喜歡冒險、我要去冒險。
寧願當個幸福的老姑婆，也不要為嫁而嫁。無論妳是結婚或單身，都是父母人生中的驕傲與安慰。
我不想要一場時髦的婚禮，只希望把焦點放在我和我所愛的人身上。在他們面前，我希望能夠表現出他們最熟悉的一面。
我們對死亡的懼怕，不可能超越對人生的恐懼。
家人，是最美好的存在。我們有父親和母親，還有彼此。
悲傷過後總會接著喜事，我相信未來會越來越好。很多家庭偶爾都會經歷多事的一年，今年對我們而言就是多事的一年，我很感恩結果都是很好的。
我的孩子們流露出的愛、尊重和信心，是我努力作為她們的女性榜樣後，所能得到最甜美的回報。
我不認為那些上流社會的淑女，會過得比我們開心。
女人，有自己的主見、有靈魂，不只是有感情；她們也有目標、才華，不只有美貌。我真的非常討厭人們說，女人只能談戀愛。厭倦至極！
我的夢想與你的不同，但不代表我的夢想就比較不重要。
Jo March: Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they've got ambition, and they've got talent, as well as just beauty. I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for.
Meg: Just Because My Dreams Are Different Than Yours, It Doesn't Mean They're Unimportant.

Marmee March: But do you love him? Jo March: I care more to be loved. I want to be loved. Marmee March: That is not the same as loving.
Meg March: I can't believe today is my wedding day! Jo March: Me neither. Meg March: What's wrong? Jo March: Nothing. Meg March: Jo... Jo March: We can leave. We can leave right now. Meg March: What?

Jo March: You will be bored of him in two years and we will be interesting forever. Meg March: Just because my dreams are different than yours doesn't mean they're unimportant. I want a home and a family and I'm willing to work and struggle, but I want to do it with John. Jo March: I just hate that you're leaving me. Don't leave. Meg March: Oh, Jo, I'm not leaving you. Besides, one day it will be your turn. Jo March: I'd rather be a free spinster and paddle my own canoe. I would. I can't believe childhood is over. Meg March: It was going to end one way or another.

Jo March: When is Amy coming home? Marmee March: We didn't want to worry her. Jo March: Does she not know? Meg March: Beth insisted we not tell her because she didn't want to ruin Amy's trip. Jo March: Amy has always had a talent for getting out of the hard parts of life. Marmee March: Jo, don't be angry with your sister...
Jo March: If she had died, it would've been my fault. Marmee March: She will be fine, the doctor said he didn't even think she'd catch cold. Jo March: What is wrong with me? I've made so many resolutions and written sad notes and cried over my sins, but it just doesn't seem to help. When I get in a passion, I get so savage I could hurt anyone and I'd enjoy it. Marmee March: You remind me of myself. Jo March: But you're never angry. Marmee March: I'm angry nearly every day of my life. Jo March: You are? Marmee March: I'm not patient by nature, but with nearly forty years of effort I'm learning to not let it get the better of me. Jo March: I'll do the same, then. Marmee March: I hope you'll do a great deal better than me. There are some natures too noble to curb and too lofty to bend.
Amy March: I'm sorry, Jo. Marmee March: Amy... Amy March: It's just that the only thing you care about is your writing so it's not as if I could hurt you by ruining one of your dresses. And I really did want to hurt you. I am the most sorry for it now. I'm so sorry. Marmee March: Jo, don't let the sun go down on your anger. Forgive her. Help each other, and you begin again tomorrow. Jo March: She doesn't deserve my forgiveness. I will hate her! I will hate her forever!

Aunt March: I may not always be right, but I am *never* wrong.
Amy March: I'm making a mold of my foot for Laurie to remind him I have nice feet.
Jo March: If I was a girl in a book, this would all be so easy, I'd just give up the world happily.
Aunt March: The decadents have ruined Paris, if you ask me. These French women couldn't lift a hairbrush.

Jo March: I took care to have a few of my sinners repent. Mr. Dashwood: The country just went through a war. People want to be amused, not preached at. Morals don't sell nowadays.
Amy March: Laurie, dress for festivities! Top hats and silks! Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence: I will! I'll wear my best silk.

Jo March: Who would be interested in a story of - domestic struggles and joys? It doesn't have any real importance. Amy March: Maybe we don't see those things as important because people don't write about them. Jo March: No, writing doesn't confer importance, it reflects it. Amy March: I don't think so. Writing them will make them more important. Jo March: When did you become so wise? Amy March: I always have been, you were just too busy noticing my faults. Meg March: Which weren't there, of course.
Jo March: Life is too short to be angry at one's sisters.
