a rose is a rose is a rose


So I borrow Amy's blog for a moment.

Tonight we've been talking about classy and great women.

Among others, Gertrude Stein:

It is not clarity that is desirable but force. Clarity is of no importance
because nobody listens and nobody knows what you mean no matter what you
mean, nor how clearly you mean what you mean. But if you have vitality
enough of knowing enough of what you mean, somebody and sometime and
sometimes a great many will have to realize that you know what you mean and
so they will agree that you mean what you know, what you know you mean,
which is as near as anybody can come to understanding anyone.

while I'm blogging, I have to give it back:

The Danes loves Amy

og jeg elsker hende saa meget, at jeg ikke ved hvad mere jeg skal sige.
