Famous quotes containing the words garden and/or space:

    “The others “acted” a role; I was the role. She who was Mary Garden died that it might live. That was my genius ... and my sacrifice. It drained off so much of me that by comparison my private life was empty. I could not give myself completely twice.”
    —Mary Garden (1874–1967)

    “At first thy little being came:
    If nothing once, you nothing lose,
    For when you die you are the same;
    The space between, is but an hour,
    The frail duration of a flower.”
    —Philip Freneau (1752–1832)
