I hate flowers — I paint them because theyre cheaper than models and they dont move. – Georgia OKeeffe
When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, its your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not. – Georgia OKeeffe
One can not be an American by going about saying that one is an American. It is necessary to feel America, like America, love America and then work. – Georgia OKeeffe
