Spirit Quotes
-
One arranges flowers as the spirit moves you; to obey some inner prompting to put this colour with that, to have brilliance here, line there, a sense of opulence in this place or sparseness in that; to suit your surroundings, your mood, the weather, the occasion.

Noble sentiments made it feel sick. It wanted only to be left alone.
