Quotes: Amos Kennedy Jr.

"I don't want more, I want less. I want to have less, so I will have more time to devote to this gift that I have. Because in the final analysis, the only thing that we have that is not renewable is our life. When I am dead, they will still make money. My time, I have decided, is more important. To claim my time to do what I want to do in that time." 

–– Amos Kennedy Jr. (b. 1948), American printmaker, book artist, and papermaker
