Famous quotes containing the words world and/or amateur:
“And, even yet, I dare not let it languish,
Dare not indulge in memorys rapturous pain;
Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish,
How could I seek the empty world again?”

“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 (18931993)
