The many great gardens of the world, of literature and poetry, of painting and music, of religion and architecture, all make the point as clear as possible: The soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden. If you don't want paradise, you are not human; and if you are not human, you don't have a soul. Thomas More
About This Quote

If you don't want paradise, you are not human; and if you are not human, you don't have a soul. One of the most beautiful things in life is being able to find something beautiful. Gardens are beautiful, since they are full of flowers, color and beauty. And because gardens are made by people who have a passion for beauty it means that there is always something new. It means that there is always something to look forward to because no two gardens are the same.
