States Amateur Championships

Famous quotes containing the words states and/or amateur:

“Life is a series of sensations connected to different states of consciousness.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)

“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)
