Georgia O'Keeffe

"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for."

"I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do."

"I have already settled it for myself so flattery and criticism go down the same drain and I am quite free."

"It's not enough to be nice in life. You've got to have nerve."
