Rose Tree

Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or tree:

“When you realize how hard it is to know the truth about yourself, you understand that even the most exhaustive and well-meaning autobiography, determined to tell the truth, represents, at best, a guess. There have been times in my life when I felt incredibly happy. Life was full. I seemed productive. Then I thought,”Am I really happy or am I merely masking a deep depression with frantic activity?” If I don’t know such basic things about myself, who does?”
—Phyllis Rose (b. 1942)

“No tree is so wedded to the water, and harmonizes so well with still streams.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
