Ah, with the Grape my fading Life provide,
And wash the Body whence the Life has died,
And lay me, shrouded in the living Leaf,
By some not unfrequented Garden-side.Omar Khayyam
As we wash our body so we should wash destiny, change life as we change clothes.
Fernando Pessoa
Birth, life, and death — each took place on the hidden side of a leaf.
Toni Morrison
Locke sank into a swoon;
The Garden died;
God took the spinning-jenny
Out of his side.William Butler Yeats
Art is the Flower. Life is the Green Leaf. Let every artist strive to make his flower a beautiful living thing, something that will convince the world that there may be, there are, things more precious more beautiful - more lasting than life itself.
Charles Rennie Mackintosh
Today I read your autobiography in two volumes, Living My Life. These two books full of life, shocked me greatly. Your roaring of forty years like spring thunder, knocked at the door of my living grave throughout the whole book. At this time, silence lost its effect, the fire of my life was lit, I want to come to life and go through great anguish, immeasurable joy, dark despair and enthusiastic hope, throughout the peak and the abyss of life. I will calmly go on living with an attitude you taught me until I spend my whole life.
