Quote:

“I have picked flowers where I found them, I have picked sea shells and rocks and pieces of wood where there were sea shells and rocks and pieces of wood that I liked. When I found the beautiful white bones on the desert, I picked them up and took them home too. I have used these things to say what is to me the wideness and wonder of the world as I live in it.”

—Georgia O’Keeffe, Some Memories of Drawings, 1974
