  • I'm for a multi-racial world in which each race keeps to itself, in harmony with the other races. Like in a garden, you have flowerbeds of roses and flowerbeds of carnations and irises and different other flowers. They don't intermarry. They stay separate, and each one has its beauty. . . . I'm against colonialism for the reason that colonialism infects the master as well as the slave. It even infects the master more.

  • I don’t love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz or arrow of carnations that propagate fire: I love you as certain dark things are loved, secretly, between the shadow and the soul.

    Love You   Dark   Fire  
  • Love is a war of lightning, and two bodies ruined by a single sweetness.

    War   Dark   Kissing  
    Pablo Neruda, “‘carnal Apple, Woman Filled, Burning Moon,’”
  • I know historians aren't supposed to fall in love with their own theories, but I was head over heels about the notion of an entire band of female French agents, like a nineteenth-century Charlie's Angels. Only better. It made the Pink Carnation's organization look positively humdrum.

    Lauren Willig (2011). “The Deception of the Emerald Ring”, p.258, Allison & Busby
  • The colors that show best by candlelight are white, carnation, and a kind of sea-water green.

    Color   Sea   White

  • I don't think that there's that much difference between a photograph of a fist up someone's ass and a photograph of carnations in a bowl.

  • To win the trophy of enchanting grace: Ranks of Carnations, to all ladies dear, Of whose sweet taste I write approval here, For these pre-eminent myself I think, As long as you don't overdue the pink.

  • Jesus Christ's claim of divinity is the most serious claim anyone ever made. Everything about Christianity hinges on His carnation, crucifixion, and resurrection. That's what Christmas, Good Friday, and Easter are all about.

  • To the Elysian shades dismiss my soul, where no carnation fades.

    Soul   Shade   Paradise  
    Alexander Pope (1751). “The works of Alexander Pope. With his last corrections, additions, and improvements. Publ. by mr. Warburton. With occasional notes”, p.204
  • This time is difficult. Wait for me. We will live it out vividly. Give me your small hand: we will rise and suffer, we will feel, we will rejoice. We are once more the pair who lived in bristling places, in harsh nests in the rock. This time is difficult. Wait for me with a basket, with a shovel, with your shoes and your clothes. Now we need each other, not only for the carnations' sake, not only to look for honey — we need our hands to wash with, to make fire.

    Eye   Fire   Small Hands  
    "The Poetry of Pablo Neruda".
  • Too quick despairer, wherefore wilt thou go? Soon will the high Midsummer pomps come on, Soon will the musk carnations break and swell.

    Break   Musk   Carnations  
    'Thyrsis' (1866) l. 61
  • Sir, the year growing ancient, Not yet on summer's death nor on the birth Of trembling winter, the fairest flowers o' th' season Are our carnations and streaked gillyvors, Which some call nature's bastards.

    Summer   Flower   Winter  
    William Shakespeare (2016). “The New Oxford Shakespeare: The Complete Works”, p.2941, Oxford University Press
  • I believe that virtually everyone has the ability to either grow some food at home, or to find an appropriate location to start a garden. I may sound like a kook who plants my landscape with cucumbers instead of carnations, peppers instead of petunias, and fruit trees rather than ficus, but I am convinced that wherever you go, you can grow food! Now is the time for us to join together and plant the seeds that will transform the places in which we live.

    Believe   Home   Garden  
  • My granddaddy on my momma's side, he was a romantic. He loved love songs. Every Valentine's Day, I remember him buying a red carnation for my grandmomma, my momma and my sister. That was something you could count on every year.
