1 " Gardening is the handiest excuse for being a philosopher. Nobody guesses, nobody accuses, nobody knows, but there you are, Plato in the peonies, Socrates force-growing his own hemlock. A man toting a sack of blood manure across his lawn is kin to Atlas letting the world spin easy on his shoulder. "
― Ray Bradbury , Dandelion Wine (Green Town, #1)

― Mihail Sebastian , For Two Thousand Years
