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."

"Take everything easy and quit dreaming and brooding and you will be well guarded from a thousand evils."

"All books are either dreams or swords, you can cut, or you can drug, with words."

"Happiness, to some, elation Is, to others, mere stagnation."

"In science, read by preference the newest works. In literature, read the oldest. The classics are always modern."
