Read through the most famous quotes by topic #flowers




Your silence exists as does my self gathering. But so does the almost absolute silence of the world's dawning.

I write the way you might arrange flowers. Not every try works, but each one launches another. Every constraint, even dullness, frees up a new design.

For me, the vast marvel is to be alive. For man, or for flowers or beast or bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly and perfectly alive.
