"Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself."This is the first line in Virginia Woolf's classic novel Mrs. Dalloway. I think of it sometimes when I am going to go buy flowers for myself. Whether you buy the flowers yourself, or someone else gets them, I thought that for Valentine's Day I would feature pictures of flowers and quotes about love.
“To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.”
-Oscar Wilde
“so I wait for you like a lonely house
till you will see me again and live in me.
Till then my windows ache.”
-Pablo Neruda
“Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species.”
-W. Somerset Maugham
I started creating crochet flowers. If I had more time I would make more. I would love to make crocheted potted plants.
“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.”
-Oscar Wilde
‘Speak low if you speak love’
-Shakespeare
(Much Ado About Nothing – Act 2, Scene 1)
“We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we’re not alone.”
-Orson Welles
“I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart.”
-Alice Walker
Sometimes I like to play with the colors on the computer to get flowers I like the look of better than the originals.
‘If music be the food of love, play on’
-Shakespeare
(Twelfth Night – Act 1, Scene 1)
