Quotes by Beatrice Harraden (?)

“Sevgili Kadınım" dedi..
Kaliteli bir şiir kitabının içinde yaşamıyoruz. Düz yazı bir kitabın, ciltsiz basımı bizim yaşadığımız yer.
Mantıklı ol. Diğer insanlar yüzünden canını sıkma.Onları eleştirme zahmetine bile girme; bu sadece sana dert olur.”
― Beatrice Harraden, Ships that Pass in the Night
