Famous quotes containing the word flowers:
“Yes, Heaven is thine; but this
Is a world of sweets and sours;
Our flowers are merelyflowers,
And the shadow of thy perfect bliss
Is the sunshine of ours.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (18091849)
“Bees plunder the flowers here and there, but afterward they make of them honey, which is all theirs; it is no longer thyme or marjoram. Even so with the pieces borrowed from others; one will transform and blend them to make a work that is all ones own, that is, ones judgement. Education, work, and study aim only at forming this.”
—Michel de Montaigne (15331592)
