One day a hummingbird flew in--It fluttered against the window til I got it down where I could reach it with an open umbrella----When I had it in my hand it was so small I couldn't believe I had it--but I could feel the intense life--so intense and so tiny--...You were like the humming bird to me...And I am rather inclined to feel that you and I know the best part of one another without spending much time together----It is not that I fear the knowing--It is that I am at this moment willing to... Georgia O'Keeffe
Georgia O'Keeffe quote: "Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time,..."

I made you take time to look at what I saw and when you took time to really notice my flower, you hung all your associations with flowers on my flower and you write about my flower as if I think and see what you think and see—and I don't. Georgia O'Keeffe
Georgia O'Keeffe quote: "I'm frightened all the time. But I never let it stop me. Never!"
