I am not a lover of lawns. Rather would I see daisies in their thousands, ground ivy, hawkweed, and even the hated plantain with tall stems, and dandelions with splendid flowers and fairy down, than the too - well-tended lawn.
William Henry Hudson
Image
...my boredom might be described as a malady affecting external objects and consisting of a withering process an almost instantaneous loss of vitality--just as though one saw a flower change in a few seconds from a bud to decay and dust.
Alberto Moravia
Image
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
Praise be to Nero's Neptune The Titanic sails at dawn And everybody's shouting Which Side Are You On? And Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot Fighting in the captain's tower While calypso singers laugh at them And fishermen hold flowers.
Bob Dylan
Image
Inspiration the seed. Design but the flower.
Michael Langham
Image
The flower fades and dies but he who wears the flower has not to mourn for it for ever.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
Spring's an expansive time: yet I don't trust March with its peck of dust, Nor April with its rainbow-crowned brief showers, Nor even May, whose flowers One frost may wither thro' the sunless hours.
Christina Rossetti
Image
Every spring, this country will be reminded of the Lady from Texas. As trees bloom and flowers carpet our nation's capital, Lady Bird Johnson will be remembered. Only Lady Bird Johnson could, with her vision of a beautiful America, lay claim to spring as her memorial.
David Mixner

A good woman is the loveliest flower that blooms under heaven and we look with love and wonder upon its silent grace, its pure fragrance, its delicate bloom of beauty.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Image
Whoever uses psychedelics should treat them with greatest respect. When Aldous and I used them, we prepared the ambience and ourselves the day before. The day of the session was kept as a holy day, and there were beautiful fruits and flowers around. The result was, that we had no negative experiences.
Laura Huxley
Image
To lose the touch of flowers and women's hands is the supreme separation.
Albert Camus
Image
There was a knight came riding by In early spring, when the roads were dry And he heard that lady sing at the noon, Two red roses across the moon.
William Morris
Image
It would not be more unreasonable to transplant a favorite flower out of black earth into gold dust than it is for a person to let money-getting harden his heart into contempt, or into impatience, of the little attentions, the merriments and the caresses of domestic life.
William Mountford
Image
Swift flies our time on pinions fleet, Like vapours on the breeze The transient bliss we now call sweet, The passing moments seize. The gilded joy, the present hour, Soon wing themselves away Departing like the fading flower That pleas'd us Yesterday.
William Muir
Image
You are the root, and only God knows that the flower will be.
William P. Young
Image
It's important when you're married not to forget those things you used to do when you were trying to get her to marry you. You can't send flowers and buy gifts then, when you're married, say, 'Right, get my tea on'. That doesn't go down well. So you've got to keep that level of interest going.
David Walliams
Image
Apologies come in all shapes and sizes. You can give diamonds, candy, flowers, or just your deepest heartfelt sentiment.
Sarah Dessen
Image
The flower which we do not pluck is the only one which never loses its beauty or its fragrance.
William Rounseville Alger
Image
My closest friend, who died not long ago, is buried near Marx's grave in Highgate cemetery, so I see the gaggle of admirers laying roses at the foot of his tombstone regularly. I have never been tempted to leave flowers there myself. Great theories, shame about the practice. Marx did many things. But inventing class was not one of them.
Alastair Campbell
Image
If a flower had a God it would not be a transcendental flower but a field.
Alan Watts
Image
And consider: it is loss to which everything flows, absence in which everything flowers
Margaret Atwood
Image
To the Taoist mentality, the aimless, empty life does not suggest anything depressing. On the contrary, it suggests the freedom of clouds and mountain streams, wandering nowhere, of flowers in impenetrable canyons, beautiful for no one to see, and of the ocean surf forever washing the sand, to no end.
Alan Watts
Image
As a human being it is just my nature to enjoy and share philosophy. I do this in the same way that some birds are eagles and some doves, some flowers lilies and some roses.
Alan Watts
Image
Where souls do couch on flowers we'll hand in hand.
William Shakespeare
