G.B. Stern

Well, I don't know in which category I would put these sentences, but when I first read them, I became very interested in reading this lady's oeuvres.

I tried to find her photograph to know her, but I couldn't find any. If you have one and can share with me, I'd thank you a lot. This picture is just to illustrate one of ther quotes below. I found it at the NYPL Digital Gallery (worth a visit).

"One thing that's good about procrastination is that you always have something planned for tomorrow."

"Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute."

"Man is a complex being who makes deserts bloom and lakes die"

"Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone."
