“I learned to build bookshelves and brought books to my room, gathering them around me thickly. I read by day and into the night. I thought about perfectibility, and deism, and adjectives, and clouds, and the foxes, I locked my door, from the inside, and leaped from the roof and went to the woods, by day or darkness.” BookNightRoomsDarknessDoorsCloudsWoodsLockedRoofFoxesGatheringAdjectivesBookshelvesDeism Book:Upstream: Selected Essays Source: Upstream: Selected Essays

“The clean clear colours were in my head. But one day as I looked at the brown burned wood of the Shanty, I thought 'I can paint one of those dismal-coloured paintings like the men. I think just for fun I will try - all low-toned and dreary with the tree besides the door.' In my next show, 'The Shanty' went up. The men seemed to approve of it. They seemed to think that maybe I was beginning to paint. That was my only low-toned dismal-coloured painting.” ThinkingMenTryingI CanShowsNextFunClearDoorsTreeHe ManPaintingOne DayLowsCleanPaintWoodsColourBrownBurnedDrearyJust For Fun Author:Georgia O'Keeffe
“It's amazing being a member of perhaps the last analog generation - being born in the late '40s, growing up in the '50s and '60s, when it was still a very analog world. And in New Orleans those days, the country was just next door, as it were. You didn't have to travel miles and miles to get out in the woods. There's tons of fishing, obviously, in New Orleans, and tons of hunting. That was part of the cycle of life, to get fresh meat from the butcher or go duck hunting and get it yourself. It wasn't malicious or insensitive. It was just there, and you used it.” WorldStillsCountryLastsUsedNextBornGrowing UpGrowingGenerationsDoorsMembersLateWoodsMilesMeatFishingCyclesHuntingDucksNew OrleansButchersMaliciousInsensitiveAnalogCycle Of LifeDuck Hunting Author:John Larroquette
“The light went on when I heard Phil [woods] play, and I went like, "That is why I'm playing the instrument."
