Emily Carr

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 will have to experiment and try things out for yourself and you will not be sure of what you are doing. That's all right, you are feeling your way into the thing.
Emily Carr

Emily Carr

Emily Carr

Emily Carr

Be careful that you do not write or paint anything that is not your own, that you don't know in your own soul.
