    Mary Oliver

    Read through the most famous quotes from Mary Oliver

    — Mary Oliver

    #cluttered #curious #get #going #i

    I very much wished not to be noticed, and to be left alone, and I sort of succeeded. ↗


    — Mary Oliver

    #i #left #much #noticed #sort

    I worked probably 25 years by myself, just writing and working, not trying to publish much, not giving readings. ↗


    — Mary Oliver

    If I've done my work well, I vanish completely from the scene. I believe it is invasive of the work when you know too much about the writer. ↗


    — Mary Oliver

    My first two books are out of print and, okay, they can sleep there comfortably. It's early work, derivative work. ↗
