Famous quotes containing the words flower and/or carpet:
“Not a flower, not a flower sweet
On my black coffin let there be strewn.
Not a friend, not a friend greet
My poor corpse, where my bones shall be thrown.
A thousand thousand sighs to save,
Lay me, O, where
Sad true lover never find my grave,
To weep there.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“There are lots of things that you can brush under the carpet about yourself until you’re faced with somebody whose needs won’t be put off.”
