“The flowers, the gorgeous mystic, multi-colored flowers are not the flowers of life, but people, yes people are the true flowers of life.”

“Once in a golden hour I cast to earth a seed. Up there came a flower, The people said, a weed.”

“If you get to it,And you cannot do it,There you jolly-well are,Aren't you?”

“People give flowers as presents because flowers contain the true meaning of love. Anyone tries to possess a flower will have to watch its beauty fading. But if you simply look at a flower on a field, you will keep it forever, because the flower is part of the evening and the sunset and the smell of damp earth and the clouds on the horizon.”

“And now you ask in your heart, ‘How shall we distinguish that which is good in pleasure from that which is not good?’Go to your fields and your gardens, and you shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower,But it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee.For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life,And to the flower a bee is a messenger of love,And to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.*People of Orphalese, be in your pleasures like the flowers and the bees.”

“I thought, "The flowers, save the flowers..."I never thought for a secondwe wouldn't save the people”

“Life, it is not simple like a garden, where flowers are always flowers and weeds are always weeds.”
