“Ganz blind arbeitete er vorwärts, ohne jeden Ehrgeiz, nur um sich zu betäuben und nicht an die vielen Dinge zu denken, auf die er verzichten mußte. Er begriff, daß ein wunderbares Geheimnis in diesem Fieber war, mit dem sich viele Leute über die Nutzlosigkeit und Leere ihres ganzen Lebens hinwegtäuschten, und hoffte, so auch seinem Leben einen Sinn aufzwingen zu können, freilich vergessend, daß die erste Jugend nicht einen Sinn des Lebens will, sondern das ganze vielfältige Leben selbst.”

“Ganz recht, wer kanns wissen. Mancher Dummkopf wird Professor; manch kluger Kopf muß sich eine Kugel in den Kopf schießen. So ist das heutzutage. Und so wird es auch einige Zeit bleiben. Man muß sich schon überlegen, ob man Hoffnungen wecken soll, denen von vornherein die Armut schwer in Wege liegt… Da eröffnen sich verschiedenerlei wüste Perspektiven.”

“Ganz sicher aber haben mir die Kästners eine Familieneigenschaft in die Wiege gelegt [...]: die echte und unbelehrbare Abneigung vorm Reisen.
Wir Kästners sind auf die weite Welt nicht sonderlich neugierig. Wir leiden nicht am Fernweh, sondern am Heimweh. Warum sollten wir in den Schwarzwald oder auf den Gaurisankar oder zum Trafalgar Square? Die Kastanie vorm Haus, der Dresdner Wolfshügel und der Altmarkt tun es auch. Wenn wir unser Bett und die Fenster in der Wohnstube mitnehmen könnten, dann ließe sich vielleicht darüber reden! Aber in die Fremde ziehen und das Zuhause daheimlassen? Nein, so hoch kann kein Berg und so geheimnisvoll kann keine Oase sein [...], daß wir meinen, wir müßten sie kennenlernen! Es ginge noch, wenn wir daheim einschliefen und in Buenos Aires aufwachten! Das Dortsein wäre vorübergehend zu ertragen, aber das Hinkommen? Niemals!”

Diese Nacht, dieser Duft, diese Sterne,
Dieser Baum, der von Wurzel bis Krone erblüht ist!”
“Gap clothing allows you to look like you're from nowhere and anywhere.”
“Gape long enough into a looking glass and you’ll eventually see beauty. The same can be said of self-analysis, and as soon as one apes oneself, a second monkey is born.”
“Gaps can be very emotional. I mean, that's in my drumming. When I drum, you know, I don't need to drum all over the track. I play with the singer and I can back off.”
“Gaps don't/just happen./There is a/generative element/inside them,/a welling motion/ as when cold/waters shoulder/up through/warmer oceans./And where gaps/choose to widen,/coordinates warp,/even in places/constant since/the oldest maps.”

“Garbo still belongs to that moment in cinema when capturing the human face still plunged audiences into the deepest ecstasy, when one literally lost oneself in a human image as one would in a philtre, when the face represented a kind of absolute state of the flesh, which could be neither reached nor renounced.”
“Garcia is careful to distinguish works that operate on the basis of "what ifs" from works that act "as if," arguing that while the former lead to "satirical acts designed to unmask the workings of power," the latter are "more utopian, leading to forms of activism that, rather than demanding change, act 'as if' change has already occurred.”

“Garcia wondered why people with JESUS stickers on their bumper always drove twenty miles per hour under the speed limit. If God was my co-pilot, he thought, I'd be doing a hundred and twenty.”

The prowess of pollination, alive and surging through shared soil. Reaching the hearts and souls of all who welcome this sacred medicine.”
“Garden design theory explains, or should explain, the 'What, Where, Why and How' of making gardens.”
“Garden making, like gardening itself, concerns the relationship of the human being to his natural surroundings.”

Epilogue (abridged
'Tis an immortaled foreverness we go to,
On that wind shorn and storm torrid plain,
Where hopes, dreams and life never dies -
As we encounter ourselves, and in our love
The victory do we gain.
Even so, there are more forgotten fables of
This eternaled lass,
She exists in our dreams forever, that shadow land
Where true hearts do last.
She is our story, the legends and myths as are we,
A tale to be told to the child within, who forevermore is free.
Rides she everlasting in our quietest stores,
And summons up the courage to live of what we
Have royally into been born.
Yea, once more she rules the Forgottenland,
She has learned to love, but forever
Alone, she stands.
But we should know, deep down inside,
Kari doth smiles for she is one of her kind
(For if nothing else, she appreciates her all,
Who she is and in this, knowing she will never fall).
Thus it is written perhaps with our dissent,
That those in Hell are of the unrepent.
A place of one's own choosing so it would seem,
Moment by moment we enter therein with our false dreams.
Yet those who are there know one truth above all,
The strength of iron hopelessness -
Of realities not false.
A prison to some, a Heaven to others,
Freedom reigns when earthen illusions are shattered asunder.
And Kari, does she know her secret? Surely she does,
That to love and to be oneself are blessings from Above.”
“GARDEN OF WISDOM
A heart that has ached mercilessly
Can spin a lifetime of agony
Into a solacing garden of wisdom,
Offering you comfort
And peace.
It’s the same heart that knows the
Ecstasy of just being alive
And cherishes every moment.”

“Garden work clears the mind.”
“Garden work consists much more in uprooting weeds than in planting seed. This applies also to teaching.”
“Garden writing is often very tame, a real waste when you think how opinionated, inquisitive, irreverent and lascivious gardeners themselves tend to be. Nobody talks much about the muscular limbs, dark,swollen buds, strip-tease trees and unholy beauty that have made us all slaves of the Goddess Flora.”
“Gardener's , like everyone else, live second by second and minute by minute. What we see at one particular moment is then and there before us. But there is a second way of seeing. Seeing with the eye of memory, not the eye of our anatomy, calls up days and seasons past and years gone by.”
“Gardeners (or just plain simple writers who write about the garden) always have something they like intensely and in particular, right at the moment you engage them in the reality of the borders they cultivate, the space in the garden they occupy at any moment, they like in particular this, or they like in particular that.”
“Gardeners are good at nurturing, and they have a great quality of patience, they're tender. They have to be persistent.”
“Gardeners celebrate the influence of time. If we have had a late cold spring followed by a desiccating drought, autumn may be the most soft and golden for years; one poor season will sooner or later be compensated for by another.”
“Gardeners do first, read later. Why not? Plants are very gracious in accepting an apology.”
“Gardeners impose human values on disorderly nature, knowing full well that nature must win in the end. Gardening is gentle gallantry. - Rosemary Butler”

“Gardeners in regions with very long summer days have a great opportunity, and should use more of the cool colors that literally glow in the low light of morning and evening.”
“Gardeners instinctively know that flowers and plants are a continuum and that the wheel of garden history will always be coming full circle.”
“Gardeners instinctively know that flowers and plants are a continuum and that the wheel of garden history will always be coming full circle. One lifetime is never enough to accomplish one's horticultural goals. If a garden is a site for the imagination, how can we be very far from the beginning?”
“Gardeners know that you must nourish the soil if you want healthy plants. You must water the plants adequately, especially when seeds are germinating and sprouting, and they should be planted in a nutrient-rich soil. Why should nutrition matter less in the creation of young humans than it does in young plants? I'm sure that it doesn't.”

“Gardeners often focus exclusively on plants, missing the absolutely essential visual role played by structures, from paths to pavilions.”
