Workings Quotes (page 192)

I shall destroy appearances the casings will burn away and one evening I shall appear there in the palm of your hand... Jean Genet

Your father, Jo. He never loses patience,--never doubts or complains,--but always hopes, and works and waits so cheerfully, that one is ashamed to do otherwise before him. He helped and comforted me, and showed me that I must try to practise all the virtues I would have my little girls possess, for I was their example. It was easier for your sakes than for my own; a startled or surprised look from one of you, when I spoke sharply, rebuked me more than any words could have done; and the... Louisa May Alcott
