You are beautiful, but you are empty. One could not die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you --- the rose that belongs to me. But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen; because it is for her that I have killed the caterpillars; because it is she that I have listened to, when she grumbled, or bloated, or even sometimes when she said nothing. Because she is my rose. Anonymous
About This Quote

The rose is the most special thing you can find in this world. It is the personification of love, beauty and being so delicate that it will die if it doesn't have water every day. It is something that anyone can have a crush on but not be able to have because it's just not meant to be.
