Famous quotes containing the word roses:

    “There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted.”
    —Henri Matisse (1869–1954)

    “You prefer a woman under the earth,
    you heap roses above a grave;
    a woman under the earth
    is safe,
    a woman dead
    is beloved.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “O night,
    you take the petals
    of the roses in your hand,
    but leave the stark core
    of the rose
    to perish on the branch.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
