~By John W. Snow ~

~By Andy Goldsworthy ~
For life is tendency, and the essence of a tendency is to develop in the form of a sheaf, creating, by its very growth, divergent directions among which its impetus is divided.
~By Henri Bergson ~

~By Philip Stanhope ~
Flower was a good metaphor for growth. The song is obviously about sexual responsibility, so that was the main metaphor. Also, it's like knowing who someone has been and remembering and appreciating that, but really appreciating what they are now even more.

~By Angela Merkel ~

~By Paul Ryan ~
