Famous quotes containing the words small and/or amateur:
“Come to me, Jenny, let’s dance a bit tonight,
The long small tremor’s at my back again....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“The true gardener then brushes over the ground with slow and gentle hand, to liberate a space for breath round some favourite; but he is not thinking about destruction except incidentally. It is only the amateur like myself who becomes obsessed and rejoices with a sadistic pleasure in weeds that are big and bad enough to pull, and at last, almost forgetting the flowers altogether, turns into a Reformer.”
—Freya Stark (1893–1993)
