The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms, Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him. (Auguste Rodin)
He is happiest who hath power to gather wisdom from a flower. (Mary Howitt)
Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense. (Mark A. Overby)
