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

I enjoy painting,
cutting the lawn and
working in the garden when I have time.
That's therapy for me. I enjoy working with my hands.

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 -
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.
by Peter Zumthor
I love things that are indescribable,
like the taste of an avocado
like the taste of an avocado
or the smell of a gardenia.
by Barbra Streisand
