Botanical Meditation

September 19, 2005

The picture of a flower in a botanical book is information; its mission ends with our knowledge. But in pure art it is a personal communication. And therefore until it finds its harmony in the depth of our personality it misses the mark.
~ Rabindranath Tagore, Indian Poet, Playwright and Essayist, Nobel Prize Winner for Literature in 1913

Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.
~ Napoleon Hill, American author

The arts are the rain forests of society. They produce the oxygen of freedom, and they are the early warning system when freedom is in danger.
~ June Wayne
