• L.A. mata a la gente'. Jacaranda dijo. 'Tienes suerte de irte. Podrás escribir'. Parecía más pálida, atravesando otra depresión, fumando en la cama de su habitación lila. Las paredes eran del color de sus venas. Estaba adelgazando demasiado, incluso para el modelaje. Jacaranda murió el invierno pasado, cuando los árboles en flor estaban desnudos. Ni siquiera se podía distinguir cuál de ellos había tenido las flores púrpuras que le dieron nombre.

• She had had her momentary flowering, a year, perhaps, of wildrose beauty, and then she had suddenly swollen like a fertilized fruit and grown hard and red and coarse, and then her life had been laundering, scrubbing, laundering, first for children, then for grandchildren, over thirty years. At the end of it she was still singing.

• Who owns Cross Creek? The red-birds, I think, more than I, for they will have their nests even in the face of delinquent mortgages..It seems to me that the earth may be borrowed, but not bought. It may be used, but not owned. It gives itself in response to love and tending, offers its sesonal flowering and fruiting. But we are tenants and not possessors, lovers, and not masters. Cross Creek belongs to the wind and the rain, to the sun and the seasons, to the cosmic secrecy of seed, and beyond all, to time..."

• No deseo morir- Hay tanta belleza contingente en la vida: La ventana abierta en las mañanas de verano Mirando los jardines y las cosas verdes que crecen, Las tazas sombrías de rosas floreciendo para sí mismas- Imágenes del tiempo y la eternidad- Silencio en el jardín y sentido a lo largo de las paredes.

• If the earth is man's extended body, to be loved and respected as one's own body, those who do no greening of themselves will hardly bring about the greening of America. The idea of 'greening' involves color, flowering, freshness of spring, and, above all, respect for what is organic and vegetative as distinct from the mechanical and metallic.

• Fue a Hofmeister, trabajando como un hombre joven, un aficionado y entusiasta, en las primeras horas de la mañana de los meses de verano, antes de los negocios, en Leipzig en los años anteriores a 1851, cuando apareció por primera vez la visión de un tipo común de Ciclo Vital, pasando por Musgos y Helechos hasta Gimnospermas y Plantas con Flor, uniendo toda la serie en un esquema de reproducción e historia vital.

• ¡Oh corazón de serpiente escondido con rostro florido! ¿Alguna vez un dragón guardó una cueva tan hermosa? ¡Hermoso tirano, angelical feind, cuervo de pluma de paloma, cordero de lobo! Sustancia despreciada de devinest show, justo lo contrario de lo que justamente pareces - ¡Un santo maldito, un villano honorable!

• Mexico admits you through an arched stone orifice into the tree-filled courtyard of its heart, where a dog pisses against a wall and a waiter hustles through a curtain of jasmine to bring a bowl of tortilla soup, steaming with cilantro and lime. Cats stalk lizards among the clay pots around the fountain, doves settle into the flowering vines and coo their prayers, thankful for the existence of lizards. The potted plants silently exhale, outgrowing their clay pots. Like Mexico's children they stand pinched and patient in last year's too-small shoes.

• For me, the short story is not a character sketch, a mouse trap, an epiphany, a slice of suburban life. It is the flowering of a symbol center. It is a poem grafted onto sturdier stock.

• I’ve blamed her for all of this, for leaving, for ruining me. And maybe that was the seed of it, but from that one little seed grew this tumor of a flowering plant. And I’m the one who nurtures it. I water it. I care for it.I nibble from its poison berries. I let it wrap around my neck, choking the air right out of me. I’ve done that. All by myself. All to myself.

• Si el mundo exterior disminuye en su grandeza, entonces la vida emocional, imaginativa, intelectual y espiritual del ser humano disminuye o se extingue. Sin el vuelo de los pájaros, los grandes bosques, los sonidos y colores de los insectos, los arroyos que fluyen libremente, los campos en flor, la vista de las nubes de día y las estrellas de noche, nos empobrecemos en todo lo que nos hace humanos.
