Famous quotes containing the word flowers:

    the gray filth of it:
    the knowledge that humankind,
    delicate Man, whose flesh
    responds to a caress, whose eyes
    are flowers that perceive the stars ...
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    When there’s no future
    How can there be sin
    We’re the flowers in the dustbin
    We’re the poison in your human machine
    We’re the future
    Your future
    God Save the Queen
    The Sex Pistols, British punk band (1976-1979)

    But neither milk-white rose nor red
    May bloom in prison air;
    The shard, the pebble, and the flint,
    Are what they give us there:
    For flowers have been known to heal
    A common man’s despair.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
