Quote by Antonio Porchia

Flowers are without hope. Because hope is tomorrow and flowers have no tomorrow.

Flowers are without hope. Because hope is tomorrow and flowe

Summary

This quote suggests that flowers cannot have hope because hope exists in the concept of tomorrow, which flowers do not possess. Unlike humans, who can hope for a better future, flowers have a fleeting existence and symbolize the beauty and transience of life. Their lack of tomorrow implies that they live in the present moment, without any expectation or anticipation for what lies ahead. Thus, the quote illustrates the contrast between the temporal nature of flowers and the capacity for hope that resides in human beings.
