Kitsch is the daily art of our time, as the vase or the hymn was for earlier generations. For the sensibility it has that arbitrariness and importance which works take on when they are no longer noticeable elements of the environment. In America kitsch is Nature. The Rocky Mountains have resembled fake art for a century.
Harold Rosenberg
Image
Our lives are a mosaic of little things, like putting a rose in a vase on the table.
Ingrid Trobisch
Image
If we'd put them in a vase in the living room, they would have been everyone's flowers. I wanted them to be my flowers.
John Green
Image
Life is a magic vase filled to the brim, so made that you cannot dip from it nor draw from it but it overflows into the hand that drops treasures into it. Drop in malice and it overflows hate drop in charity and it overflows love.
John Ruskin
Image
[I have] a heavenly vase full of autumn leaves today. They look so beautiful. How much closer to God can one get? And a beautiful blue heron flew over the brook. Nature can make me cry faster than anything.
Lotte Lenya

Relationships never break cleanly. Like a valuable vase, they are smashed and then glued back together, smashed and glued, smashed and glued until the pieces just don't fit together anymore.
Marilyn Manson

The year I began to say vahz instead of vase, a man I barely knew nearly accidentally killed me.
Amy Hempel

Jealousy smells like the water in the bottom of a flower vase after the flowers have died.

Love is a broken vase whose shape everyone remembers differently.
Anis Mojgani

No flower is happy in a vase, because vase is nothing but an ornate coffin for the flower.

If you had a large vase with a big crack down the middle of it, a Japanese art museum would put the vase on a pedestal and shine a spotlight on the crack!
Arielle Ford

Flowers are an education in a vase.
Robert Genn

You can only mend the vase so many times before you have to chuck it away.
Christine McVie

Just as any moron can destroy a priceless Ming vase, so the shallow and ill-educated people who run our schools can undermine and destroy from within a great civilization that took centuries of dedicated effort to create and maintain.
Thomas Sowell
Image
Break a vase, and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole.
Derek Walcott
Image
A fine glass vase goes from treasure to trash, the moment it is broken. Fortunately, something else happens to you and me. Pick up your pieces. Then, help me gather mine.
Vera Nazarian

A vase of flowers or greens will bring even a dull hotel room to life in the most delightful way. The small amount of trouble or expense involved is honestly repaid in real decorative effect. If you find cut flowers too extravagant, stick to the greens. Laurel, rhododendron leaves, huckleberry or pine will all last many days, even weeks.
Dorothy Draper

Trust is like a vase.. once it's broken, though you can fix it, the vase will never be same again.
Walter Inglis Anderson

There are certain pictures I can never take. We turn on the TV and are smothered with cruelty and suffering and I don't need to add to it. So I just photograph peaceful things. A vase of flowers, a beautiful girl. Sometimes, through a peaceful face, I can bring something important into the world.
Edouard Boubat

But 'tis common proof, that lowliness is young ambition's ladder, whereto the climber-upward turns his face but when he once attains the upmost round, he then turns his back, looks in the clouds, scorning the vase defrees by which he did ascend.
William Shakespeare

Two drinks a day. Two drinks a day. TWO DRINKS A DAY! It doesn't work! Not when you want eleven, and not when you start shopping for wine glasses in the vase department at Bloomingdales.
Elaine Stritch

But lilies, stolen from grassy mold, No more curled state unfold, Translated to a vase of gold In burning throne though they keep still Serenities unthawed and chill.
Francis Thompson
Image
Like a graceful vase, a cat, even when motionless, seems to flow.
George F. Kennan
Image
Trying to change ourselves in order to please others - so that we can feel temporarily whole for having won their approval - is like cutting a flower into pieces so that it will fit into a vase.
