"The flower is the poetry of reproduction. It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life." ― Jean Giraudoux Topic(s): Nature More From Jean Giraudoux "Men should only believe half of what women say. But which half?" "Faithful women are all alike, they think only of their fidelity, never of their husbands." "Education makes us more stupid than the brutes. A thousand voices call to us on every hand, but our ears are stopped with wisdom." More In Nature "I have a bit of a rebellious nature."― John Cusack "A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks."― Thomas Jefferson "Usually when I go to a place for the first time, unless there’s something historical or spectacular that nature has to offer, the first thing I like to do is see what’s on the minds of the people."― Patti Smith
