"I'm not ambitious for a splendid fortune, a fashionable position, or a great name for my girls. 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 some privations give sweetness to the few pleasures;" L.M Alcott Little Women

Great quote. I've been decorating my bookshelves at home this week and have just added another from Alcott: "she is too fond of books and it has turned her brain".
ReplyDeleteTonia - I like that quote too. I was given a notebook once with that written on it. How are your bookshelves looking now?
