Flowers

Famous quotes containing the word flowers:

    “O to dream, O to awake and wander
    There, and with delight to take and render,
    Through the trance of silence,
    Quiet breath;
    Lo! for there, among the flowers and grasses,
    Only the mightier movement sounds and passes;
    Only winds and rivers,
    Life and death.”
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    “And so I will take back up my poor life, so plain and so tranquil, where phrases are adventures and the only flowers I gather are metaphors.”
    —Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)

    “When we locked up the house at night,
    We always locked the flowers outside
    And cut them off from window light.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
