Famous quotes containing the words soul and/or flower:

    Then we shall rust in shade, or shine in strife,
    And fluctuate ‘twixt blind hopes and blind despairs,
    And fancy that we put forth all our life,
    And never know how with the soul it fares.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    Who wants to become a writer? And why? Because it’s the answer to everything. To “Why am I here?” To uselessness. It’s the streaming reason for living. To note, to pin down, to build up, to create, to be astonished at nothing, to cherish the oddities, to let nothing go down the drain, to make something, to make a great flower out of life, even if it’s a cactus.
    Enid Bagnold (1889–1981)
