“It's like if you plant something in the concrete and if it grow and the rose petal got all kinda scratches and marks, you ain't gonna say "damn, look at all the scratches and marks on the rose that grew from the concrete.." you gonna be like "DAMN! a ROSE grew from the CONCRETE?"”
Tupac Shakur
“we wouldn't ask why a rose that grew from the concrete for having damaged petals, in turn, we would all celebrate its tenacity, we would all love its will to reach the sun, well, we are the roses, this is the concrete and these are my damaged petals, dont ask me why, thank god, and ask me how”
“Publishing a volume of verse is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.”
Don Marquis
““Eyes closed, lost in a rose, my nose finds nirvana. Deep in this silky petaled nest it is no longer a thing on my face. It is the center of the universe.””
Rain Bojangles
“You must be a Lotus, unfolding its petals when the Sun rises in the sky, unaffected by the slush where it is born or even the water which sustains it!”
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
“The apple blossom exists to create fruit; when thatcomes, the petal falls.”
Kabir
“Like a falling petal, a singer must be as beautiful & perfect until the very moment they fall”
