“The rose-garden world of perfection is a lie... and a bore, too!”
“Editing is like pruning the rose bush you thought was so perfect and beautiful until it overgrew the garden.”
“A single rose can be my garden; a single friend, my world.”
“I had a perfect life in my reach once, and it was a crashing bore. Perfect is too clean, too easy. I don't want perfect any more than I want to be perfect. I want imperfect.”
“I abhor the idea of a perfect world. It would bore me to tears.”
“There's a black rose growing in your garden.”
