“Desire makes everything blossom; possession makes everything wither and fade. ”
― Marcel Proust

“When one loves, one does not calculate.”
― St. Thérèse de Lisieux

“I understood that every flower created by Him is beautiful, that the brilliance of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not lessen the perfume of the violet or the sweet simplicity of the daisy. I understood that if all the lowly flowers wished to be roses, nature would no longer be enameled with lovely hues. And so it is in the world of souls, Our Lord's living garden.”
― St. Thérèse de Lisieux

“Even a soul submerged in sleep
is hard at work and helps
make something of the world.”
― Heraclitus, Fragments
