Gardening Is The Instrument Of Grace.

How Unnatural The Imposed View, Imposed By A Puritanical Ethos, That Passionate Love Belongs Only To The Young, That People Are Dead From The Neck Down By The Time They Are Forty, And That Any Deep Feeling, Any Passion After That Age, Is Either Ludicrous Or Revolting!

Growing Old Is, Of All Things We Experience, That Which Takes The Most Courage, And At A Time When We Have The Least Resources, Especially With Which To Meet Frustration.

Making Order Out Of Disorder Any Time, Anywhere, Can Be Regarded As A Sacrament.

They Are Commiting Murder Who Merely Live.

It Takes A Long Time For Words To Become Thought.
