World Amateur

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or amateur:

“When will the world learn that a million men are of no importance compared with one man?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“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)
