Amy Lowell“Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.”
Amy Lowell“Take everything easy and quit dreaming and brooding and you will be well guarded from a thousand evils.”
Amy Lowell“For books are more than books, they are the lifeThe very heart and core of ages past,The reason why men lived and worked and died,The essence and quintessence of their lives.”
