Perfectly Exquisite 

“It was in the 1920s, 

when nobody had time to reflect, 

that I saw a still-life painting 

with a flower 

that was perfectly exquisite, 

but so small you really 

could not appreciate it.”

~ Georgia O’Keeffe

Life is a Basket of Cherries

“Most of those 

who make collections 

of verse or epigram 

are like men eating cherries 

or oysters: they choose out 

the best at first, and 

end by eating all.”

~ Nicolas Chamfort
