“at night we glimpsed the flowers blooming between women's legs
but we were vegetarians and misogynists”

“The nature of this flower is to bloom.”

“Misogynist — A man who hates women as much as women hate one another.”

“When we see the Beloved in each person, it's like walking through a garden, watching flowers bloom all around us.”

“…shall we say that the difference between a vegetarian and a cannibal is just a matter of taste?”

“Weave no more silks, ye Lyons looms,
To deck our girls for gay delights!
The crimson flower of battle blooms,
And solemn marches fill the nights.”

“In other words…you can't be a misogynist and expect women to appreciate you.”

“The Nature of This Flower Is to Bloom

Rebellious. Living.
Against the Elemental Crush.
A Song of Color
Blooming
For Deserving Eyes.
Blooming Gloriously
For its Self.”

“Nevertheless, in this sea of human wretchedness and malice there bloomed at times compassion, as a pale flower blooms in a putrid marsh.”

“Fly not yet; 't is just the hour
When pleasure, like the midnight flower
That scorns the eye of vulgar light,
Begins to bloom for sons of night
And maids who love the moon.”
