I want to grow a flower for every time someone tells me “F*** you.” Then I’ll go back to that person and pin the flower on their lapel in a gesture of friendship. And while they are looking down on it in astonishment, I’ll bunch up my knuckles and punch them in the face. ↗

In religious and in secular affairs, the more fervent beliefs attract followers. If you are a moderate in any respect - if you're a moderate on abortion, if you're a moderate on gun control, or if you're a moderate in your religious faith - it doesn't evolve into a crusade where you're either right or wrong, good or bad, with us or against us. ↗

From the heart of the fountain of delight rises a jet of bitterness that tortures us among the very flowers. ↗

In the midst of the fountain of wit there arises something bitter, which stings in the very flowers. ↗

I'd like to go to another planet, which I might live long enough to accomplish. Just get on a spaceship and go. But not the moon. I don't see any flowers there. The moon is too close. I want to go further. ↗

I played around with the flowers and the lighting, so that was a good way to educate myself. ↗

Sell the public flowers... things that they can hang on their walls without being uptight. ↗
