Quotes by William Anderson  (?)

“You know a person cannot live at a high pitch of emotion, the feelings become dulled by a natural, unconscious effort at self-preservation. You”
William Anderson, The Selected Letters of Laura Ingalls Wilder

“When I write poetry, I’ll write it down, or a tiny bit of it, and then have to depend on the reader to bring his own feelings, moods and memories to the act of reading poetry. And this act is considerable art in itself. To read poetry or literature with attention is a marvelous thing to be able to do— to respond, to live and be moved by this subtle world you’ve created about you.”
William Anderson

“Yesterday afternoon I went with Rose and Gillette down to the beach. At Land’s End I had my first view of the Pacific Ocean.”
William Anderson, The Selected Letters of Laura Ingalls Wilder
