"Let us be grateful to people
who make us happy. They are charming gardeners who make our souls
blossom."
-----Marcel Proust
There are tulips all over Ireland in the
spring. They are beautiful and very inspirational. They dot the
yards and roadsides throughout the country bringing a magical
carpet of color to the beholder.
"Those who contemplate the
beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure
as long as life lasts."
-----Rachel Carson
"People from a planet without
flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to
have such things about us."
----Iris Murdoch
"The virtue of the camera is not
the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist,
but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking."----Brooks Anderson
"They (flowers)....... are the hieroglyphics
of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of the character, though
few can decypher even fragments of their meaning."-----Lydia M. Child
