“A woman is like a flower! Flowers are to be treated only with a gentle touch ~ A Child of A Crackhead”

“A woman without love wilts like a flower without sun.”

“Don't kiss me like a woman if you're going to treat me like a child.”

“I shall always be a flower girl to Professor Higgins, because he always treats me as a flower girl, and always will; but I know I can be a lady to you, because you always treat me as a lady, and always will.”

“Then he kissed her. At his lips' touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete.”

“Is there a relative value of beauty? Is evanescence - fleetingness - a necessary element of the thing that most moves us? A shooting star dazzles more than the sun. A child captivates like an elf, but grows into grossness, an ogre, a harpy. A flower splays itself into color - the lilies of the field! - more treasured than any painting of a flower. But of all these things, women's grace, shooting stars, flowers, and paintings, only a painting endures.”
