To be overpowered by the fragrance of flowers is a delectable form of defeat.

Of all modern notions, the worst is this:
Domesticity is dull. Inside the home, they say, is dead decorum and routine; outside is adventure and variety. The truth is that the home is the only place of liberty, the only spot on earth where a man (ahem, and a woman) can alter arrangements suddenly, make an experiment, or indulge in a whim. The home is not the one tame place in a world of adventure; it is the one wild place in a world of rules and tasks.
G. K. Chesterton
Do we dare to be ourselves? That is the question that counts.
Pablo Casals
We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.
Anais Nin
