A
flower's appeal is in its contradictions — so delicate in form yet strong in
fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on
effect. ~Terri Guillemets

People
from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole
time to have such things about us. ~Iris Murdoch, A Fairly Honourable Defeat

Flowers
don't worry about how they're going to bloom. They just open up and turn toward
the light and that makes them beautiful. ~Jim Carrey

I'd
rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck. ~Emma Goldman
