“Gardens were meant to be seen, smelled, walked through, grubbed in. A hundred objective measurements didn't sum the worth of a garden; only the delight of its users did that.”
“if cant stop and smell the roses whats the pointof going through the garden?”
“The value of an opinion is only measured by its user. It's ironic that the value of a fact is only measured by its observer.”
“But in the garden the sun still shone. The innumerable bees hummed. The scent of thyme hung on the air. But only the Natterjack was there to breathe the fragrant essence of it.He and the garden were waiting. They were waiting for more children. They didn't care how long they waited. They had all the time in the world.-The Time Garden, Edward Eager”
“The worth and excellency of a soul is to be measured by the object of its love.”
“When we see the Beloved in each person, it's like walking through a garden, watching flowers bloom all around us.”
