This might need a Super, unless I'm mistaken. But I'd hate to be wrong so I'll wait to edit my title for now :)

I was able to edit this.
If you know that it definitely appears in one of Stieglitz's books I can add that too.
Thanks Carol!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. :)
Huh, neat! It sure seems like a lot of work to keep this site working and correct -- it's a truly impossible task.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—
