flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into.
-Henry Beecher
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high over vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay,
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
- William Wordsworth
Little flower, but if I could understand, what you are, root and all in all, I should know what God and man is.
- Tennyson
I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.
- Emma Goldman
