World Amateur

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or amateur:

“Nothing else in the world smells like that.... I love the smell of napalm in the morning.... It smells like victory.”
—Francis Ford Coppola (b. 1939)

“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)
