Gertrude Atherton
when I am alone in the forest I always say my prayers and that occasional solitary communion with God is surely the only true religion for intelligent beings.
Gertrude Atherton
... the irony of life is not that you cannot forget but that you can.
Gertrude Atherton
It is a pretty trick of authors to make nature ever in sympathy with man, but as a matter of fact she seldom is.
Gertrude Atherton
Oh, what is young love! The urge of the race. A blaze that ends in babies or ashes.
Gertrude Atherton
