Aunt March
[to Amy]
You are your family's hope now. Beth is sick, Jo is a lost cause, and I hear Meg has her head turned by a penniless tutor, so...it'll be up to you to support them all.
A line from Aunt March
I may not always be right, but I am never wrong.

Jo March
Perhaps... perhaps I was too quick in turning him down. Laurie.
Marmee March
Do you love him?
Jo March
If he asked me again, I think I would say yes. Do you think he'll ask me again?
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.
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 40 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!
