What worlds are there herein? I'll tell you. In these seas of fragrant waters, numerous as atoms in unspeakably many buddha-fields, rest an equal number of world systems. Each world system also contains an equal number of worlds. Those world systems in the ocean of worlds have various resting places, various shapes and forms, various substances and essences, various locations, various entryways, various adornments, various boundaries, various alignments, various similarities, and various powers of maintenance. ~ Thomas Cleary
Flower Ornament quotes by Thomas Cleary
From a bud of the evening a flower opens its petal in the dawn. The world sees the bud of the last night smiling with nectar on its lips. No one observed the diligence that was needed for the opening of each petal. ~ Pratibha Ray
Flower Ornament quotes by Pratibha Ray
Thomas Edison reads not for entertainment but to increase his store of knowledge. He sucks in information as eagerly as the bee sucks honey from flowers. The whole world, so to speak, pours its wisdom into his mind. He regards it as a criminal waste of time to go through the slow and painful ordeal of ascertaining things for one's self if these same things have already been ascertained and made available by others. In Edison's mind knowledge is power. ~ B.C. Forbes
Flower Ornament quotes by B.C. Forbes
Returning to the Brandt home but I agreed to give a hand. We arrived after lunch and found Lise at work loading a wheelbarrow with the smaller stones from the huge pile beside the shed. The flower bed itself was in the middle of the yard, positioned in a sunny area between deep pools of shade that lay beneath a couple of tall hackberry trees. ~ William Kent Krueger
Flower Ornament quotes by William Kent Krueger
Thanks to the gods I didn't spend much time while growing up with my grandfather's mistress and preserved the flower of my youth, waiting for the proper time to demonstrate my virility. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Flower Ornament quotes by Marcus Aurelius
She has folded
Them back into her body as petals
Of a rose close when the garden
Stiffens and odours bleed
From the sweet, deep throats of the night flower.
The moon has nothing to be sad about,
Staring from her hood of bone. ~ Sylvia Plath
Flower Ornament quotes by Sylvia Plath
These stars of earth, these golden flowers. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Flower Ornament quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Do you want me?" she whispered, licking him again. She felt very warm, and slightly drunk with her feminine power. Desire was unfurling inside her, opening like a flower. Her breasts throbbed, and she rubbed them against his leg.

He gave a strangled laugh, almost undone by her natural sensuality. "Look a few inches to your right and tell me what you think. ~ Linda Howard
Flower Ornament quotes by Linda Howard
Outside the study hall the next fall, the fall of our senior year, the Nabisco plant baked sweet white bread twice a week. If I sharpened a pencil at the back of the room I could smell the baking bread and the cedar shavings from the pencil.... Pretty soon all twenty of us - our class - would be leaving. A core of my classmates had been together since kindergarten. I'd been there eight years. We twenty knew by bored heart the very weave of each other's socks....

The poems I loved were in French, or translated from the Chinese, Portuguese, Arabic, Sanskrit, Greek. I murmured their heartbreaking sylllables. I knew almost nothing of the diverse and energetic city I lived in. The poems whispered in my ear the password phrase, and I memorized it behind enemy lines: There is a world. There is another world.

I knew already that I would go to Hollins College in Virginia; our headmistress sent all her problems there, to her alma mater. "For the English department," she told me.... But, "To smooth off her rough edges," she had told my parents. They repeated the phrase to me, vividly.

I had hopes for my rough edges. I wanted to use them as a can opener, to cut myself a hole in the world's surface, and exit through it. Would I be ground, instead, to a nub? Would they send me home, an ornament to my breed, in a jewelry bag? ~ Annie Dillard
Flower Ornament quotes by Annie Dillard
You mustn't rely on your flowers to make your garden attractive. A good bone structure must come first, with an intelligent use of evergreen plants so that the garden is always clothed, no matter what time of year. Flowers are an added delight, but a good garden is the garden you enjoy looking at even in the depths of winter. ~ Margery Fish
Flower Ornament quotes by Margery Fish
If you give a child something very complex to paint, such as a bouquet of flowers or a natural landscape, if he is very good, eventually he will get back - like Cezanne - to the essential forms of what he sees. ~ Robert Motherwell
Flower Ornament quotes by Robert Motherwell
Not a hothouse flower, this daughter of Leoch, despite her surroundings. ~ Diana Gabaldon
Flower Ornament quotes by Diana Gabaldon
Josie's chestnut hair is pulled back on one side with some sort of tropical flower pinned at her temple; it ought to look ridiculous, but it doesn't. Instead, she reminds me of some 1940s movie goddess - sultry and luminous. Conley's arm is linked with hers, and he gazes at her like she's the brightest light in the room. ~ Claudia Gray
Flower Ornament quotes by Claudia Gray
You will begin to realize that if you contemplate long enough on the leaf of the flower, that it involves the whole universe. ~ Alan Watts
Flower Ornament quotes by Alan Watts
Ten thousand saw I at a glance, tossing their heads in sprightly dance. ~ William Wordsworth
Flower Ornament quotes by William Wordsworth
An exquisite flower for my exquisite girl. ~ R.K. Lilley
Flower Ornament quotes by R.K. Lilley
Listen to me," he said, "do you really think women are the flower of life? You know, you can get fed up with them after a while ... All they do is stop you achieving anything serious. ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Flower Ornament quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
And he feels hurt when he hears about wars,
And commerce, and the ships leaving
Their smoke on the high seas.
Because he knows all of this lacks the truth
A flower has in its blooming
And which moves with the sunlight
Changing the hills and valleys ~ Alberto Caeiro
Flower Ornament quotes by Alberto Caeiro
What a lovely thing a rose is!"
He walked past the couch to the open window and held up the drooping stalk of a moss-rose, looking down at the dainty blend of crimson and green. It was a new phase of his character to me, for I had never before seen him show any keen interest in natural objects.
"There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as religion," said he, leaning with his back against the shutters. "It can be built up as an exact science by the reasoner. Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers. ~ Arthur Conan Doyle
Flower Ornament quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
Education is neither writing on a blank slate nor allowing the child's nobility to come into flower. Rather, education is a technology that tries to make up for what the human mind is innately bad at. Children don't have to go to school to learn to walk, talk, recognize objects, or remember the personalities of their friends, even though these tasks are much harder than reading, adding, or remembering dates in history. They do have to go to school to learn written language, arithmetic, and science, because those bodies of knowledge and skill were invented too recently for any species-wide knack for them to have evolved. ~ Steven Pinker
Flower Ornament quotes by Steven Pinker
Knowledge of the past and of the places of the earth is the ornament and food of the mind of man. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci
Flower Ornament quotes by Leonardo Da Vinci
In the beginning we start with roses. The king's flower right? Only they wilt in less than a day, especially when exposed to the elements. But Carnations? Oh, what a beautiful flower. They come in every color. True, some are painted, but that doesn't mean they are less beautiful, and they never wilt. ~ Ruth McLeod-Kearns
Flower Ornament quotes by Ruth McLeod-Kearns
So passeth, in the passing of a day,
Of mortall life the leafe, the bud, the flowre ~ Edmund Spenser
Flower Ornament quotes by Edmund Spenser
Silence. First it's a cloud of apricot trees in flower, yellow or ivory, like a thousand little butterflies sown in the fresh grass, moving in the glow of lamplight when night ascends. Fragments of dreams. You can see the red sun setting on the foliage, like an enormous mass of incandescent steel.

Then there were the trees a little farther off, straightening their fragile frames, the woolen blue pincushion flower like an eye and that tumult of milk in the deep stone, and finally the moan of the air beaten by a flock of blue woodpigeons– a silken challenge perhaps, or one of crackled leather. ~ Deborah Heissler
Flower Ornament quotes by Deborah Heissler
Show me a mother who says she is 100 percent gentle, 100 percent of the time, and I'll show you a mother in deep, deep denial, and probably passive-agressive to boot. - Lynn Siprelle ~ Hilary Flower
Flower Ornament quotes by Hilary Flower
The sweetest souls, like the sweetest flowers, soon canker in cities, and no purity is rarer there than the purity of delight. ~ Walter Savage Landor
Flower Ornament quotes by Walter Savage Landor
I am not a greedy person except about flowers and plants, and then I become fanatically greedy. ~ May Sarton
Flower Ornament quotes by May Sarton
Life can be lived in rules, but then life becomes superficial. Live life not according to the laws but according to consciousness, awareness. Don't live life according to the mind. Mind has rules and regulations, mind has rituals. Live life from the standpoint of no-mind so that you can bloom into unpredictable flowers. ~ Rajneesh
Flower Ornament quotes by Rajneesh
I think he is the ornament of society! Oh, there is not just one role for the artist in society. He has many roles and he has a different role as society changes, and in different societies . . . He can be a seer at times, and in the eighteenth century he was the satirist, the artist stepping back and holding up the mirror to society. Moreover, I don't think the same kind of person is necessarily an artist or a poet in one century as another. ~ Peter Taylor
Flower Ornament quotes by Peter Taylor
The heart is like a flower. Unless it is open, it cannot release its fragrance into the world. ~ Rajneesh
Flower Ornament quotes by Rajneesh
The world is full of people who never quite get into the first team and who just miss the prizes at the flower show. ~ Jacob Bronowski
Flower Ornament quotes by Jacob Bronowski
About as noticeable as a hippo in a flower garden. ~ Tracy Bilen
Flower Ornament quotes by Tracy Bilen
Get it? Gender is a country, a field of signifying roses you can walk through, or wear tucked behind your ear.

Eventually the flower wilts & you can pick another, or burn the field, or turn & run back across the tracks.
