Amy March quotes from Little Women (2019)

Amy March

I believe we have some power over who we love. It isn't something that just happens to a person.
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence: I think the poets might disagree.

Amy March

Well, I'm not a poet. I'm just a woman. And as a woman, there's no way for me to make my own money. Not enough to earn a living or support my family. And if I had my own money, which I don't, that money would belong to my husband the moment we got married. And if we had children, they would be his, not mine. They would be his property. So don't sit there and tell me that marriage isn't an economic proposition because it is. It may not be for you, but it most certainly is for me.

Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence: Don't marry him.

Amy March

What?
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence: Don't marry him.

Amy March

Why?
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence: You know why...

Amy March

No, Laurie, that's mean, it's just mean of you...
Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence: Why?

Amy March

I have been second to Jo my whole life in everything and I will not be the person you settle for just because you cannot have her. I won't do it, not when, not when I've spent my entire life loving you.

Amy March

I'm sorry, Jo.

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.

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!
