“Where flowers bloom so does hope.”
― Lady Bird Johnson

― Amit Ray, Mindfulness Living in the Moment - Living in the Breath

“Real love ought to be more like a tree and less like a flower”
― Mya Robarts

“Broken things are precious. We eat broken bread because we share in the depth of our Lord and His broken life. Broken flowers give perfume. Broken incense is used in adoration. A broken ship saved Paul and many other passengers on their way to Rome. Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.”
― Fulton J. Sheen

“We are often given pills or fluids to help remedy illness, yet little has been taught to us about the power of smell to do the exact same thing. It is known that the scent of fresh rosemary increases memory, but this cure for memory loss is not divulged by doctors to help the elderly. I also know that the most effective use of the blue lotus flower is not from its dilution with wine or tea â€� but from its scent. To really maximize the positive effects of the blue lily (or the pink lotus), it must be sniffed within minutes of plucking. This is why it is frequently shown being sniffed by my ancient ancestors on the walls of temples and on papyrus. Even countries across the Orient share the same imagery. The sacred lotus not only creates a relaxing sensation of euphoria, and increases vibrations of the heart, but also triggers genetic memory - and good memory with an awakened heart ushers wisdom.”

“A book about books is like a poem about poetry:

Books are knowledge, paid for, all.
Readers - horses in a stall.
Stallions should always run.
Lest they stale become, in turn.

Running waters are most clear.
In some books, you disappear �
lose yourself, and track of time.
How I wish that one was mine...

Mine, to have, to write, to read...
Mine, just like a flying steed.
Mine, forever, - to improve.
Would I then, of me, approve?

I would not, I can't... myself.
I'm but dust, swept off a shelf.
Fly, can I, just 'til I'm settled,
down, beside my flower, petalled.”
― Will Advise, Nothing is here...

“Rusted Flowers

From her heart’s
tear-salted soil,
rusted flowers grew.
A serrated beauty;
wounding all those
who bent near.”
― John Mark Green

“Grandma Hutto’s flower garden was a bright patchwork quilt thrown down inside the pickets.”
― Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, The Yearling

“Flowers are evil, because they live just to die for the love of other people. You don’t believe me? Try it for yourself and see if you’ll be good afterwards. Undeath is a way of life, for some things. That doesn’t make it good or anything. Especially anything. Nothing makes anything anything. Because nothing is a serious matter, and anything just is.”
― Will Advise, Nothing is here...

“But neither milk-white rose nor red
May bloom in prison air;
The shard, the pebble, and the flint,
Are what they give us there:
For flowers have been known to heal
A common man's despair.”
― Oscar Wilde

“I wonder, with all the flowers in the garden, how many of them ever think of hanging themselves with the garden hose, if ever they can.”
― Anthony Liccione

“Love is like a morning mist.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita, Think Great: Be Great!

“I can't recall the sound of your voice
Still, I bring flowers and meet the sky
ask it to hold me, too.”
― Drew Myron

“We are the flowers that make up the Creator's vast and beautiful garden.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Man is hypocrite! He says that he loves flowers but he kills them for his own simple interests and for his own joy! Man is hypocrite!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“What makes it smell so sweet?" they wanted to know. "Because everything,--every little wild plum-blossom, every little tiny crocus and anemone and violet and every tree-bud and grass-blade is working to help make the prairie nice.”
― Bess Streeter Aldrich, Lantern in Her Hand

“Our existence and our environment enclose entities of divinity.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita, Pearls of Wisdom: Great mind

“I'll catch any rose in my vase-shaped heart, then process it through my vascular system, until there's nothing left.”
― Will Advise, Nothing is here...

“The flowers in Tibet were always taller, more fragrant and vivid. Her descriptions, imprecise but unchanging from year to year lead me to an inevitable acceptance that her past was unequaled by our present lives. She would tell me of knee-deep fields of purple, red and white- plants never named or pointed out to during our years in India and Nepal- that over time served to create an idea of her fatherland, phayul, as a riotous garden. I pictured her wilderness paradise by comparing them not to the marigolds, daises or bluebells I crushed with my fingers, but to the shape of household artefacts around me: lollipop, broom, bottle. Disparate objects that surrendered to and influenced the idea, space and hope of a more abundant and happy place.”
― Tsering Wangmo Dhompa, A Home in Tibet

“Nature displays beauty in its pure state.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita, Think Great: Be Great!

Of blue headlands and seas,
What perfumed immortal breath sighing
Of Greece.”

“Every flower displays its beautiful colours in autumn.”

― Debasish Mridha

“Nature will always be nature.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita, Think Great: Be Great!

“Walk down any sidewalk in any city and eventually you’ll find a flower growing out of a crack in the concrete, tenaciously grasping for life, barely enough earth for it to clench hold of. This little flower has seeded, sprouted, and blossomed, despite thousands of feet walking over and around it every day. This flower is a survivor, thriving better than if it were in my Aunt Tilda’s fucking backyard garden with her fussing over it day and night and giving it all the goddamned care she thought it needed. Yeah, eventually, some careless asshole’s gonna trample and kill that flower, but another one’s gonna replace it. [...] I’ll always believe in you, Raeburn. You just have to find another crack in the sidewalk and blossom. Don’t be another Kurt Cobain. Don’t give up. People need you.”
― Pete Conrad, The Suicide Flowers

“Don't you just love the idea of cooking flowers? I imagine them bursting into bloom, right in the pan.”
― Ruth Reichl, Delicious!
