“I don’t know how you are so familiar to me—or why it feels less like I am getting to know you and more as though I am remembering who you are. How every smile, every whisper brings me closer to the impossible conclusion that I have known you before, I have loved you before—in another time, a different place, some other existence.”

Jo, would you like to dance with me? I can’t because… Because of what? You won’t tell? Never. I scorched my dress. See? There. And Meg told me to keep still so no one would see. You can laugh if you want to. It’s funny, I know. I have an idea of how we can manage.

little women ( 2017 ) | episode two 

If I didn’t see the sweetness and the beauty of your nature before, I see it now. If I didn’t know what a deep and tender place you held in my heart, I know it now. And I know that living for others has worth, because it’s what you were doing all along. And I want to say thank you.
