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)

    The wind flapped loose, the wind was still,
    Shaken out dead from tree and hill:
    I had walked on at the wind’s will,—
    I sat now, for the wind was still.
    Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
