"On my planet I had a flower; she always was the first to speak."
"But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under the glass globe, since she's the one for whom I killed the caterpillars. Since she's the one I listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Because she's my rose."
"The fact is that I did not know how to understand anything! I ought to have judged by deeds and not by words. She cast her fragrance and her radiance over me. I ought never to have run away from her... I ought to have realized the tenderness underlying her silly pretentions. Flowers are so contradictory! But I was too young to know how to love her."
"If you love a flower that lives on a star, it is sweet to look at the sky at night."
Yes, they are very strange indeed....they confuse me. Still trying to figure them out after all these years.....
ReplyDeleteYap. Same as businesses. When they grow, some focus too much on financial wealth. We forget how and why we were successful in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI feel that people like Mr Chang is still like a kid. Reminds me of 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi'. It was great to meet him.
