"There are many Beth’s in the world, shy and quiet, sitting in corners till needed, and living for others so cheerfully that no one sees the sacrifices till the little cricket on the hearth stops chirping, and the sweet, sunshiny presence vanishes, leaving silence and shadow behind."
—Little women, Louisa May Alcott.

Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for.
I'm so sick of it.
But I'm-
I'm
so
lonely.
Little Women, Louisa May Alcott

Black Elizabeth 'Beth' March
It's like the tide going out. It goes out slowly, but it can't be stopped.
