Quotes |
Laurie:
I have loved you since the moment I clapped eyes on you. What could be more reasonable than to marry you? Jo March: We'd kill each other. Laurie: Nonsense! Jo March: Neither of us can keep our temper-... Laurie: I can, unless provoked. Jo March: We're both stupidly stubborn, especially you. We'd only quarrel! Laurie: I wouldn't! Jo March: You can't even propose without quarreling. See more » |
