“The horizon all around me breathed out perfume announcing her arrival as the fragrance precedes a flower”

“I ought not to have listened to her,' he confided to me one day. 'One never ought to listen to the flowers. One should simply look at them and breathe their fragrance. Mine perfumed all my planet. But I did not know how to take pleasure in all her grace.”

“If you have true gratitude, it will express itself automatically. It will be visible in your eyes, around your being, in your aura. It is like the fragrance of a flower. In most cases if there is a beautiful flower, the fragrance will be there naturally. The flower and its fragrance cannot be separated.”

“I unpetalled you, like a rose,to see your soul,and I didn't see it. But everything around-horizons of land and of seas-,everything, out to the infinite,was filled with a fragrance,enormous and alive.”

“Everywhere I go, I’m second to arrive. My reputation precedes me, and sometimes it skips out on the bill.”

“Because the soul is like a flower that folds its petals when dark comes, and breathes not its fragrance into the phantoms of the night.”
