The sage does not hoard. Having bestowed all he has on others, he has yet more; having given all he has to others, he is richer still.

In the world at large, people are rewarded or punished in ways that are often utterly random. In the garden, cause and effect, labor and reward, are re-coupled. Gardening makes sense in a senseless world. By extension, then, the more gardens in the world, the more justice, the more sense is created.

Andrew Weil

Don't live by my words, don't die by them, chew them slowly digest them, and smile if they give nourishment to your soul.

James Baldwin

I never was someone who was at ease with happiness.

Hugh Laurie

What will not woman, gentle woman dare; when strong affection stirs her spirit up?

Robert Southey

Wild intelligence abhors any narrow world; and the world of women must stay narrow, or the woman is an outlaw. No woman could be Nietzsche or Rimbaud without ending up in a whorehouse or lobotomized.
