“Only in art will the lion lie down with the lamb, and the rose grow without thorn.”
“And there shall come a kingdom in which the lion shall lie down with the lamb. Unfortunately for the lamb it shall be inside the lion!”
“No rose without a thorn but many a thorn without a rose.”
“No rose without a thorn. Yes, but many a thorn without a rose.”
“There is no rose without thorns.”
“Rose is not complete without the thorns.”
