rosa...tan maravillosa

El dulce milagro
"¿Qué es esto? ¡Prodigio! Mis manos florecen.
Rosas, rosas, rosas a mis dedos crecen.
Mi amante besóme las manos, y en ellas,
¡Oh gracia! brotaron rosas como estrellas."
Juana de Ibarbourou

(so romantic!!!...never understood this poem...!)

"You are responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose."
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

(so true...)

"You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses?"

(so positive...)

"Life is a rose; beware of the thorns."

(so...what!?)

"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



(been stuck in the building all day long...still 5 hours to go. these roses in reception were the only possibility for today...i don't particularly like roses but we must agree that they are pretty photogenic...)
