Hi Will
I was able to edit this.
If you know that it definitely appears in one of Stieglitz's books I can add that too.

And yup, it's on page 168 of the book I linked above. Here's a link to it on Google Books if you want to take a look:

Hi Will
We aren't allowed to use Google as a source.
There is a sort of convention (which you couldn't know about!) that the quotes & awards folders are only only for quotes or awards edits, as so few librarians work in these two folders.
& the book you linked to only had O'Keefe & Stieglitz in the title - not in the author fields. So I have added them now & it should be displaying for you. :)

Thank you very much for your help!
This quote is both paraphrased and has an incorrect source.
It is from one of Alfred Stieglitz's letters found in My Faraway One: Selected Letters of Georgia O'Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz
The correct phrasing is:
People—People.—Phone.—Phone.—Endless. And I am so tired.—And I would like to sleep under trees—Red ones—Blue ones—Swirling passionate ones—
