Famous quotes containing the words white and/or flowers:
“Everyone has left me
except my muse,
that good nurse.
She stays in my hand,
a mild white mouse.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The true gardener then brushes over the ground with slow and gentle hand, to liberate a space for breath round some favourite; but he is not thinking about destruction except incidentally. It is only the amateur like myself who becomes obsessed and rejoices with a sadistic pleasure in weeds that are big and bad enough to pull, and at last, almost forgetting the flowers altogether, turns into a Reformer.”
—Freya Stark (1893–1993)
