Flower Quotes

The ultimate source of energy, the sun is ready to set. The leaves of the blooming lotus flower in the pond are losing their lustre. A bumblebee, sitting on that lotus is enjoying the romantic pleasure and murmuring passionate songs Picture Quote #1

The anthropologists are busy, indeed, and ready to transport us back into the savage forest where all human things... have their beginnings; but the seed never explains the flower Picture Quote #1

The urban man is an uprooted tree, he can put out leaves, flowers and grow fruit but what a nostalgia his leaf, flower, and fruit will always have for mother earth! Picture Quote #1

Sacrifice may be a flower that virtue will pluck on its road, but it was not to gather this flower that virtue set forth on its travels Picture Quote #1

The flower of kindness will grow. Maybe not now, but it will some day. And in kind that kindness will flow, for kindness grows in this way Picture Quote #1

Great speeches have always had great soundbites. The problem now is that the young technicians who put together speeches are paying attention only to the soundbite, not to the text as a whole, not realizing that all great soundbites happen by accident, which is to say, all great soundbites are yielded up inevitably, as part of the natural expression of the text. They are part of the tapestry, they aren’t a little flower somebody sewed on Picture Quote #1

Of course we women gossip on occasion. But our appetite for it is not as avid as a man s. It is in the boys gyms, the college fraternity houses, the club locker rooms, the paneled offices of business that gossip reaches its luxuriant flower Picture Quote #1

The silence of a flower: a kind of silence which we continually evade, of which we find only the shadow in dreams Picture Quote #1

Who can describe the transports of a beam truly parental on beholding a daughter shoot up like some fair and modest flower, and acquire, day after day, fresh beauty and growing sweetness, so as to fill every eye with pleasure and every heart with admiration? Picture Quote #1

The flower which we do not pluck is the only one which never loses its beauty or its fragrance Picture Quote #1

The loveliest, sweetest flower that bloomed in paradise, and the first that died, has rarely blossomed since on mortal soil. It is so frail, so delicate, a thing, it is gone if it but look upon itself; and she who ventures to esteem it hers proves by that single thought she has it not Picture Quote #1

Earthly pride is like the passing flower, that springs to fall, and blossoms but to die Picture Quote #1

So a maiden, while she remains untouched, remains dear to her own; but when she has lost her chaste flower with sullied body, she remains neither lovely to boys nor dear to girls Picture Quote #1

Divine love is a sacred flower, which in its early bud is happiness, and in its full bloom is heaven Picture Quote #1

Charity is a flower not naturally of earthly growth, and it needs manuring with a promise of profit Picture Quote #1

I cry at random things, like a flower, or someone giving me a present, or my sister giving me a nice hug Picture Quote #1

I used to live in a gap jumper, tracksuit bottoms and a fake flower in my hair. Shocking Picture Quote #1

It’s easy to plant a seed and sprinkle it with water, but once the sun scorches the ground, and the earth soaks up all the moisture, you’re left with nothing but a thirsty little flower trying desperately to make it out of the dirt Picture Quote #1

Maybe we can comprehend a flower or an insect, but we can never comprehend ourselves. Even less can we expect to comprehend the universe Picture Quote #1

You know what I think? I think that if a young woman doesn’t engage in the act of occasionally wishing on a star or a flower or a birthday cake full of candles, then we’re forfeiting one of the sweetest whimsies of our youth Picture Quote #1

Poetry is a sort of truancy, a dream within the dream of life, a wild flower planted among our wheat Picture Quote #1

Progress does not have to be patented to be worthwhile. Progress can also be measured by our interactions with nature and its preservation. Can we teach children to look at a flower and see all the things it represents: beauty, the health of an ecosystem, and the potential for healing? Picture Quote #1

The fate of peoples is made like this, two men in small rooms. Forget the coronations, the conclaves of cardinals, the pomp and processions. This is how the world changes: a counter pushed across a table, a pen stroke that alters the force of a phrase, a woman’s sigh as she passes and leaves on the air a trail of orange flower or rose water; her hand pulling close the bed curtain, the discreet sigh of flesh against flesh Picture Quote #1

How to explain to the earth that it was more functional as a vegetable patch than a flower garden, just as factories were more functional than schools and boys were more functional as weapons than as humans Picture Quote #1

If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant, or weak, return to yourself, to who you are, here and now and when you get there, you will discover yourself, like a lotus flower in full bloom, even in a muddy pond, beautiful and strong Picture Quote #1

We say that flowers return every spring, but that is a lie. It is true that the world is renewed. It is also true that that renewal comes at a price, for even if the flower grows from an ancient vine, the flowers of spring are themselves new to the world, untried and untested. The flower that wilted last year is gone. Petals once fallen are fallen forever. Flowers do not return in the spring, rather they are replaced. It is in this difference between returned and replaced that the price of renewal is paid. And as it is for spring flowers, so it is for us Picture Quote #1

By the time we left college, I had become my own image: a dandelion in the flower bed of society. Kinda cute, but still a weed Picture Quote #1

Books are meat and medicine and flame and flight and flower steel, stitch, cloud and clout, and drumbeats on the air Picture Quote #1

I wake up in the morning and I see that flower, with the dew on its petals, and at the way it’s folding out, and it makes me happy, she said. It’s important to focus on the things in the here and now, I think. In a month, the flower will be shriveled and you will miss its beauty if you don’t make the effort to do it now. Your life, eventually, is the same way Picture Quote #1

Everyone was a rose but even more complex than a mere flower. Everyone was made up of infinitely layered petals. And everyone had something indescribably precious at the heart of their being. No one was shallow. Not really Picture Quote #1
