Quote

The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.

A garden must combine the poetic and the mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy.

They say it's better to bury your sadness in a graveyard or garden that waits for the spring to wake from its sleep and burst into green.

Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers' gardens.

How deeply seated in the human heart is the liking for gardens and gardening.

We all have sadness in our life and things that we can draw upon.

I loathe gardening, but I love gardens, and I have two beautiful gardens. I can not bear gardening, but I love gardens.

Every time I imagine a garden in an architectural setting, it turns into a magical place. I think of gardens I have seen, that I believe I have seen, that I long to see, surrounded by simple walls, columns, arcades or the facades of buildings - sheltered places of great intimacy where I want to stay for a long time.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
