Emily Carr Quotes

Emily Carr was a Canadian artist and writer inspired by the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast. One of the first painters in Canada to adopt a Modernist and Post-Impressionist painting style, Carr did not receive widespread recognition for her work until the subject matter of her painting shifted from Aboriginal themes to landscapes—forest scenes in particular. As a writer, Carr was one of the earliest chroniclers of life in British Columbia. The Canadian Encyclopedia describes her as a "Canadian icon". Wikipedia

Emily Carr Quotes

“I wonder will death be much lonelier than life. Life's an awfully lonesome affair.”

Emily Carr

&quot;Pink Collar: An Awfully Lonesome Affair&quot; http://pinkcollar.typepad.com/tubbygirl/2007/04/an_awfully_lone.html in Hundreds and Thousands : The Journals of Emily Carr (2006) <br class="br">Context: I wonder will death be much lonelier than life. Life&#x27;s an awfully lonesome affair. You can live close against other people yet your lives never touch. You come into the world alone and you go out of the world alone yet it seems to me you are more alone while living than even coming and going.
