Kindle Notes & Highlights
“They’re tulip seeds, the symbol of our country. But, more than that, they represent a truth you must learn. These seeds will always be tulips, even if at the moment you cannot tell them apart from other flowers. They will never turn into roses or sunflowers, no matter how much they might desire to. And if they try to deny their own existence, they will live life bitter and die.
“Flowers teach us that nothing is permanent: not their beauty, not even the fact that they will inevitably wilt, because they will still give new seeds. Remember this when you feel joy, pain, or sadness. Everything passes, grows old, dies, and is reborn.”
“Even the tallest trees are able to grow from tiny seeds like these. Remember this, and try not to rush time.”
“Know what you want and try to go beyond your own expectations.
An artist who desires very little and achieves it has failed in life.”
Love is an act of faith and its face should always be covered in mystery.
