    “Daisies in water are the longest lasting
    flower you can give to someone.
    Fact.
    Buy daisies.
    Not roses.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The greater part of what my neighbors call good I believe in my soul to be bad, and if I repent of anything, it is very likely to be my good behavior. What demon possessed me that I behaved so well? You may say the wisest thing you can, old man,—you who have lived seventy years, not without honor of a kind,—I hear an irresistible voice which invites me away from all that.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
