“My mother is convinced that yellow is a happy color and that a happy girl would get a husband.-Penelope Featherington”
“Right Jo better be happy old maids than unhappy wives or unmaidenly girls running about to find husbands.”
“I came here to be happy, and I’m going to be happy. If I smile, then maybe I can convince my body just how happy I am.”
“Happy as a clam, is what my mother says for happy. I am happy as a clam: hard-shelled, firmly closed.”
“My Jo, you may say anything to your mother, for it is my greatest happiness and pride to feel that my girls confide in me and know how much I love them.”
“I would cling to unhappiness because it was a known, familiar state. When I was happier, it was because I knew I was on my way back to misery. I've never been convinced that happiness is the object of the game. I'm wary of happiness.”
