Charles Dickens
Image
She wants to be flowers, but you make her owls. You must not complain, then, if she goes hunting.
Alan Garner
Image
From the place where we are right, flowers will not grow in the spring.
Yehuda Amichai
Image
The lilac branches are bowed under the weight of the flowers: blooming is hard, and the most important thing is - to bloom. (“A Story About The Most Important Thing”)
Yevgeny Zamyatin

'Tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes!
William Wordsworth
Image
Had she never been hungry enough to eat a flower? Did she not know that you could eat daisies, daylilies, pansies, and marigolds? That hungry enough, a person could consume the bright faces of violas, even the stems of dandelions and the bitter hips of roses?
Adam Johnson

A beautiful flower does not exist. There's only a moment when a flower looks beautiful.
Yohji Yamamoto
Image
I loved and still love watching words flower into sentences and sentences blossom into stories.
Jacqueline Woodson
Image
As long as you know I am waiting, take your time flowers of the spring.
Yukio Mishima

Zac Efron

Virtue is the fragrance of the flowers which the tree of life puts forth. Educated people must be identified in society by their strict adherence to virtue, not by more skilled methods of escaping the consequences of vice.
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
I made work specifically for them not to like. If you made paintings of flowers and someone says they hate it, it's like, What do you mean? It's a flower! But if you make a painting of your name and somebody says they hate it, it's like, Well, why would you like a painting of my name anyway?
Josh Smith

I don't think that you can say by any stretch of the imagination that all Wisconsin or Brooklyn-based poets write in a particular way. Similar sensibilities can spring up next to each other in the flower bed, or across oceans.
Matthea Harvey

There are two kinds of beauty there is a beauty which God gives at birth, and which withers as a flower. And there is a beauty which God grants when by His grace men are born again. That kind of beauty never vanishes but blooms eternally.
Abraham Kuyper
Image
The thorn is a bridge spanning the muddy depths of agony and sorrow so that one may on the other side dance to the drums of the rose of joy.
Aberjhani
Image
Some flowers give out little or no odour until crushed.
Abby May Alcott
Image
There is snobbery in the idea that the modern cult of celebrity has not touched the lofty realm of letters. We are like visitors to a garden or flower show who wander the pathways and do not notice the beautiful flora but instead exchange murmurs about the appearance of the soil.
Zia Haider Rahman
Image
Flowers should be viewed when half open, wine should be drunk only to subtle intoxication there is great fun in this. If you view flowers in full bloom and drink to drunkenness, it becomes a bad experience. Those who are living to the full should think about this.
Zicheng Hong
Image
Youth is like spring, an over praised season more remarkable for biting winds than genial breezes. Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits.
Samuel Butler
Image
The morning air was like a new dress. That made her feel the apron tied around her waist. She untied it and flung it on a low bush beside the road and walked on, picking flowers and making a bouquet… From now on until death she was going to have flower dust and springtime sprinkled over everything.
Zora Neale Hurston
Image
. . . every tree near our house had a name of its own and a special identity. This was the beginning of my love for natural things, for earth and sky, for roads and fields and woods, for trees and grass and flowers a love which has been second only to my sense of enduring kinship with birds and animals, and all inarticulate creatures.
Ellen Glasgow
Image
* if someone loves a flower, of which just one single blossom grows, in all the millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.
Georgia O'Keeffe
Image
But my sadness is comforting Because it’s right and natural And because it’s what the soul should feel When it already thinks it exists And the hand pick flowers And the soul takes no notice.
Fernando Pessoa
