Emily Carr Quotations
It is not all bad, this
getting old, ripening. After
the fruit has got its growth
it should juice up and
mellow. God forbid I should
live long enough to ferment
and rot and fall to the
ground in a squash. -- Emily
Carr
Life’s an awfully lonesome
affair.... You come into the
world alone and you go out
of the world alone yet it
seems to me you are more
alone while living than even
going and coming. -- Emily
Carr
You come into this world
alone and you go out of this
world alone, yet it seems to
me that you are more alone
while living than even going
or coming. -- Emily Carr
It is wonderful to feel the
grandness of Canada in the
raw, not because she is
Canada but because she's
something sublime that you
were born into, some great
rugged power that you are a
part
