Georgia O'Keeffe

One can not be an American by going about saying that one is an American. It is necessary to feel America, like America, love America and then work.

I feel there is something unexplored about woman that only a woman can explore.

Nobody sees a flower really it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.

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.

To create one's world in any of the arts takes courage.

The days you work are the best days.

I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty.

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