Letter From Mom Quotes

“Second letter from Mom:
So! What if you colored the world? This still does not seem a great thing. In fact it seems very natural that you eventually got to paint the entire world. Those colors of yours were always strange; they didn’t go away since you were born.”
― Elena D. Calin, Hortensio and the Magic Stories

“Maybe you’ve wondered why I always stuck faithfully with rose as my perfume. You know, in the midst of holy war, soldiers returning from the Crusades carried damask roses home with them. I loved that. I like to think they were bringing them to the women they had loved and left behind. You know, perfume is love. Cleopatra drenched the sails of her golden barge in the fragrance of roses, and when she visited Rome, the perfume lingered in the streets long afterward. Perfume is romance— that is why I fell for the rose.”
― Kate Lord Brown, The Perfume Garden
