Margaret Anderson Quotes

«Life for me has been exactly what I thought it would be, a cake, which I have eaten and had too»
Author: Margaret Anderson | About: Life
«It is rarely that you see an American writer who is not hopelessly sane.»
«I have always fought for ideas -- until I learned that it isn't ideas but grief, struggle, and flashes of vision which enlighten.»
«I have always suspected that too much knowledge is a dangerous thing. It is a boon to people who don't have deep feelings; their pleasure comes from what they know. . . . But this only emphasizes the difference between the artist and the scholar.»
«I wasn't born to be a fighter. The causes I have fought for have invariably been causes that should have been gained by a delicate suggestion. Since they never were, I made myself into a fighter.»
«Intellectuals are too sentimental for me.»
«My greatest enemy is reality. I have fought it successfully for thirty years.»
«My unreality is chiefly this: I have never felt much like a human being. It's a splendid feeling.»
«. . . the great thing to learn about life is, first, not to do what you don't want to do, and, second, to do what you do want to do.»
«We just felt like what we were doing would be appreciated by someone else. We've enjoyed it, but it's nice to pass it on and not just put it away in a drawer somewhere.»
