Rock 'n' Roll, no roses or gardening.

Quotes by Sowcar Janaki

Quotes by Simon Baker

Quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee

I find I am growing fonder of gardening, listening to music and reading.

Quotes by Sharmila Tagore

I put quite a few trees in last autumn. A lot of silver birch and a couple of native trees - just generally doing gardening, putting plants in and hedges in. It takes quite a lot of time and I love it.

Quotes by Sean Bean

I don't see my artist friends as any more neurotic or addiction-prone than the others. The roommates I have had who were into triathlons or environmentalism were just as crazy as the poets, just as prone to tears over gardening or air conditioners, just as ready to kite a cheque or binge on cookie dough.

Quotes by Russell Smith

Gardens are not made by singing 'Oh, how beautiful,' and sitting in the shade.

Quotes by Rudyard Kipling

There's something about beautiful moments in sports that alters our experience of time. And I'd say the same thing about poetry and gardening. Gardening slows me down. I want to stop and observe everything.

Quotes by Ross Gay

A garden is a complex of aesthetic and plastic intentions; and the plant is, to a landscape artist, not only a plant - rare, unusual, ordinary or doomed to disappearance - but it is also a color, a shape, a volume or an arabesque in itself.

Quotes by Roberto Burle Marx

When a finished work of 20th century sculpture is placed in an 18th century garden, it is absorbed by the ideal representation of the past, thus reinforcing political and social values that are no longer with us.

Quotes by Robert Smithson

It is a golden maxim to cultivate the garden for the nose, and the eyes will take care of themselves.

Quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson

It's my observation that gardeners and gardening for a very long time have had to take a back seat. Architects are very famous; they've got huge projects. What goes on in and around them has been relegated to a very minor role.

Quotes by Robert Irwin

Gardening always has been an art, essentially.

Quotes by Robert Irwin

One marked feature of the people, both high and low, is a love for flowers.

Quotes by Robert Fortune

Sometimes, as is the case of peach and plum trees, which are often dwarfed, the plants are thrown into a flowering states, and then, as they flower freely year after year, they have little inclination to make vigorous growth.

Quotes by Robert Fortune

I know that if odour were visible, as colour is, I'd see the summer garden in rainbow clouds.

Quotes by Robert Bridges

Fertilizer does no good in a heap, but a little spread around works miracles all over.

Quotes by Richard Brinsley Sheridan

Won't you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you.

Quotes by Richard Brinsley Sheridan

When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited.

Quotes by Ramakrishna

Gardeners are good at nurturing, and they have a great quality of patience, they're tender. They have to be persistent.

Quotes by Ralph Fiennes

By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower.

Rabindranath Tagore

The flower which is single need not envy the thorns that are numerous.

Rabindranath Tagore

I think this is what hooks one to gardening: it is the closest one can come to being present at creation.

Quotes by Phyllis Theroux

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.

Quotes by Peter Zumthor

There is nothing I like better at the end of a hot summer's day than taking a short walk around the garden. You can smell the heat coming up from the earth to meet the cooler night air.

Quotes by Peter Mayle

I plant a lot of trees. I am a great believer in planting things for future generations. I loathe the now culture where you just live for today.

Quotes by Penelope Keith

Everyone wants instant everything, and they want instant success, but I always think you should treat things in the arts like a garden, and let them grow.

Quotes by Penelope Keith

I find myself listening to Talk Talk on repeat while I'm doing gardening in upstate New York. Their music is so languid, and I just love his voice.

Quotes by Parker Posey

Living in New York after 14 years, I'm such an outdoors kind of person. I love gardening and building things. I like restoring old furniture.

Quotes by Paige Butcher

You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming.

Quotes by Pablo Neruda

Flowers are happy things.

Quotes by P. G. Wodehouse

Gardening is how I relax. It's another form of creating and playing with colors.

Quotes by Oscar de la Renta

A lawn is nature under totalitarian rule.

Quotes by Michael Pollan

The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.

Quotes by Michael Pollan

I am sure that if you plant the trees back again, it will do nothing but good.

Quotes by Michael Fish

Help us to be ever faithful gardeners of the spirit, who know that without darkness nothing comes to birth, and without light nothing flowers.

Quotes by May Sarton

Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.

Quotes by May Sarton

I love Michel Roux, Jr., and James Martin - the chefs who are experts in their own right, like Rick Stein on fish. But I don't watch them very much because I don't think it's fair for my husband to be in a total food environment all the time! So we watch programmes about gardening more.

Quotes by Mary Berry

To dwell is to garden.

Quotes by Martin Heidegger

I do some of my best thinking while pulling weeds.

Quotes by Martha Smith

In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.

Quotes by Margaret Atwood

If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.

Quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Weather means more when you have a garden. There's nothing like listening to a shower and thinking how it is soaking in around your green beans.

Quotes by Marcelene Cox

The profession I have keeps dragging me into drama and taking me away from baking, flowering and gardening.

Quotes by Lykke Li

Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.

Quotes by Luther Burbank

The secret of improved plant breeding, apart from scientific knowledge, is love.

Quotes by Luther Burbank

I don't divide architecture, landscape and gardening; to me they are one.

Quotes by Luis Barragan

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

Quotes by Luis Barragan

Gardening is a working meditation for me. It helps me remember process, and it helps me remember patience.

Quotes by Lizz Wright

I've always loved the woods, and I've always loved gardening and a lot of solitude and quiet.

Quotes by Lizz Wright

The most lasting and pure gladness comes to me from my gardens.

Quotes by Lillie Langtry

If a person cannot love a plant after he has pruned it, then he has either done a poor job or is devoid of emotion.

Quotes by Liberty Hyde Bailey

A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.

Quotes by Liberty Hyde Bailey

A brier rose whose buds yield fragrant harvest for the honey bee.

Quotes by Letitia Elizabeth Landon

In many ways, theatre is more rewarding for a writer. I used to think it was like painting a wall - that when the play is finished, it's done - but now I realise it's more like gardening; you plant the thing, then you have to constantly tend it. You're part of a thing that's living.

Quotes by Lee Hall

I have to keep up with the scientific literature as part of my job, but increasingly I found myself reading things that weren't really relevant to my academic work, but were relevant to gardening.

Quotes by Ken Thompson

There's something about taking a plow and breaking new ground. It gives you energy.

Quotes by Ken Kesey

A generation before, it had been sagebrush and coyotes; a generation later, it was a burgeoning movie town. But for that brief idyllic time in 1910, Hollywood looked like the perfect place for a successful writer to settle down, build his dream house, and maybe do some gardening.

Quotes by Kage Baker

My hobbies are cooking and gardening, especially growing orchids. I love soccer, my husband and I support a British team called Chelsea, and I also enjoy tennis. We have 3 cats.

Quotes by Juliet Mills

I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries, and very frankly give them fruit for their songs.

Quotes by Joseph Addison

If you build up the soil with organic material, the plants will do just fine.

Quotes by John Harrison

From my earliest memories, I loved the farm. My grandfather was a charter subscriber to Rodale's Organic Gardening and Farming Magazine and had a huge, well kept garden with an octagonal chicken house in the corner.

Quotes by Joel Salatin

The space and light up there in Norfolk is wonderfully peaceful. I find myself doing funny things like gardening, and cooking, which I rarely do in London.

Quotes by Jeremy Northam

Plant and your spouse plants with you; weed and you weed alone.

Quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Against her ankles as she trod The lucky buttercups did nod.

Quotes by Jean Ingelow

Some men like to make a little garden out of life and walk down a path.

Quotes by Jean Anouilh

I've come to recognize what I call my 'inside interests.' Telling stories. And helping people tell their stories is a sort of interpersonal gardening. My work at NBC News was to report the news, but in hindsight, I often tried to look for some insight to share that might spark a moment of recognition in a viewer.

Quotes by Jane Pauley

It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.

Quotes by James Douglas

I love planting. I love digging holes, putting plants in, tapping them in. And I love weeding, but I don't like tidying up the garden afterwards.

Quotes by Jamaica Kincaid

I love being in my garden. I don't plant a lot of exotic flora, but I do spend a lot of time outside doing manual labour.

Quotes by Jacqueline Bisset

Overall, the anarchy was the most creative of all periods of Japanese culture for in it there appeared the greatest landscape painting, the culmination of the skill of landscape gardening and the arts of flower arrangement, and the No drama.

Quotes by J. M. Roberts

No one will understand a Japanese garden until you've walked through one, and you hear the crunch underfoot, and you smell it, and you experience it over time. Now there's no photograph or any movie that can give you that experience.

Quotes by J. Carter Brown

Gardening gloves are for sissies. I always have dirt under my nails.

Quotes by Hilarie Burton

I think we all have a dream of what it would be like not to work and grow heirloom tomatoes, and I do have that dream. It would be lovely. I do love gardening and all of that, but I do love my work.

Quotes by Helen Mirren

Gardening is learning, learning, learning. That's the fun of them. You're always learning.

Quotes by Helen Mirren

I like solitary pursuits, such as reading or pottering about in the garden.

Quotes by Hayley Mills

Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.

Quotes by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.
