Daisy

Hello, I'm Daisy and I've heard a lot about you guys. Over the past few years I've been trying to write so now I wanted to see what everyone thinks. I know there's some amazing talent here so I'm a bit worried what people will say so I'm wishing myself 'Good Luck!'


Georgia O'Keeffe:
I said to myself -- I'll paint what I see -- what the flower is to me but I'll paint it big and they will be surprised into taking time to look at it -- I will make even busy New Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers.



Barbara Tuchman:
Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill.



Denise Levertov:
I don't think one can accurately measure the historical effectiveness of a poem; but one does know, of course, that books influence individuals; and individuals, although they are part of large economic and social processes, influence history. Every mass is after all made up of millions of individuals.


James D. Bryden:

Love does not die easily. It is a living thing. It thrives in the face of all of life's hazards, save one -- neglect.
Mark Twain:

After all these years, I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning; it is better to live outside the Garden with her than inside it without her.
Adam, in Adam's Diary
