“I am not interested in having the world revolve around me; that's too boring of an idea. I would rather revolve around the world and try to leave my fingerprints, everywhere. My fingerprints mingled in with all the other fingerprints and all the laughter and all the beautiful things like gratitude, grace, faithfulness and flowers.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“A man should be more original than a bouquet of roses and a box of chocolates. Flowers die and sugar sticks to your hips like a permanent record to a criminal.”

And the gold cup won by the worst horse at the races,
So I trust, too.”

“Your silence exists as does my self gathering. But so does the almost absolute silence of the world's dawning. In such suspension, before every utterance on earth, there is a cloud, an almost immobile air. The plants already breathe, while we still ask ourselves how to speak to each other, without taking breath away from them.”
― Luce Irigaray, To Be Two

“When weeds go to heaven, I suppose they will be flowers.”
― L.M. Montgomery, The Story Girl

“Christians must show that misery fits the good for heaven, while happiness prepares the bad for hell; that the wicked get all their good things in this life, and the good all their evil; that in this world God punishes the people he loves, and in the next, the ones he hates; that happiness makes us bad here, but not in heaven; that pain makes us good here, but not in hell. No matter how absurd these things may appear to the carnal mind, they must be preached and they must be believed. If they were reasonable, there would be no virtue in believing. Even the publicans and sinners believe reasonable things. To believe without evidence, or in spite of it, is accounted as righteousness to the sincere and humble christian.

In short, Christians are expected to denounce all pleasant paths and rustling trees, to curse the grass and flowers, and glorify the dust and weeds. They are expected to malign the wicked people in the green and happy fields, who sit and laugh beside the gurgling springs or climb the hills and wander as they will. They are expected to point out the dangers of freedom, the safety of implicit obedience, and to show the wickedness of philosophy, the goodness of faith, the immorality of science and the purity of ignorance.”
― Robert G. Ingersoll, Some Mistakes of Moses

“I wanted to shout down to him, to warn him that he was giving flowers to a monster, but I did not.”

― Mehmet Murat ildan

“Provided with a case of pencils, and some sheets of paper, I used to take a seat apart from them, near the window, and busy myself in sketching fancy vignettes representing any scene that happened momentarily to shape itself in the ever-shifting kaleidoscope of imagination: a glimpse of sea between two rock; the rising moon, and a ship crossing its disc; a group of reeds and water-flags, and a naiad's head, crowned with lotus-flowers, rising out of them; an elf sitting in a hedge-sparrow's nest, under a wreath of hawthorn bloom.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“But flowers feed our soul in a different way. They remind us of a God who creates beautiful things and takes notice of the tiniest detail”

“أتَاكَ الرّبيعُ الطّلقُ يَختالُ ضَاحِكاً منَ الحُسنِ حتّى كادَ أنْ يَتَكَلّمَا
وَقَد نَبّهَ النّوْرُوزُ في غَلَسِ الدّجَى أوائِلَ وَرْدٍ كُنّ بالأمْسِ نُوَّمَا”
― البحتري

“Planting a flower's like opening a book, because either way you're starting something. And your garden's your library.”

and I shall have five hundred million springs of fresh water...”

“Wildflowers burst from the ground in vivid blues and whites and violets, creating a picture more pleasing than anything her hands could design. She didn't understand how it was possible, but Evan had been right. The abundance of snow had produced an abundance of wildflowers. More than she's ever seen before. Somehow, those cold, lifeless winter months had prepared the land for something breathtaking. Something beautiful. Something brimming with life.”
― Katie Ganshert, Wildflowers from Winter

“In the beginning we start with roses. The king’s flower right? Only they wilt in less than a day, especially when exposed to the elements. But Carnations? Oh, what a beautiful flower. They come in every color. True, some are painted, but that doesn’t mean they are less beautiful, and they never wilt.”
― Ruth McLeod-Kearns, Carnations Never Wilt

“Those shiny eyes like the stars in the sky; but black and brown,
And those beautiful lips like the flowers but sugary
And those kind smells, lovable but with no purpose
All meant to be for me?
Someone must have been praying and wishing me the whole world”
― M.F. Moonzajer, A moment with God ; Poetry

“Little flowers get more attention than the big mountains simply because they emit love around themselves!”

― Yann Martel, Self

“Becky was a weed.  Nobody ever wanted them taking over the bigger, prettier plants.  People went to all extremes to make them go away.  They sprayed poison, pulled until the roots gave way. They felt only like their garden was complete when every tendril was extirpated.  This was how she felt from birth.”
― Ruth McLeod-Kearns, Weeds
