Heather Farr - Amateur Wins (2)

Famous quotes containing the words amateur and/or wins:

“The true gardener then brushes over the ground with slow and gentle hand, to liberate a space for breath round some favourite; but he is not thinking about destruction except incidentally. It is only the amateur like myself who becomes obsessed and rejoices with a sadistic pleasure in weeds that are big and bad enough to pull, and at last, almost forgetting the flowers altogether, turns into a Reformer.”
—Freya Stark (1893–1993)

“In even the happiest love story, the World wins at last.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
