"What was a rose but the living proof of desire, the single best evidence of human longing and earthly devotion. But desire could be twisted, after all, and Jealousy was the name was the name of a rose that did well in arid soils. Red Devil flourished where no other rose grew, at the edge of the garden, in shadows. In many ways, a rose resembled the human heart; some were wild, others were in need of constant care. Although many varieties has been transformed and tamed, no two were exactly alike. There were those that tasted like cherries and those that smelled like lemons. Some were vigorous, while others faded in a single day. Some grew in swamps, some needed bushels of fertilizer." (Extract from: The probable future by Alice Hoffman)

That was a quotation wholesale taken from this book that i'm currently reading. Love the book. Got this book from the vending machine that dispenses national library books that is situated in MJ. A innovative invention i should say works like a vending machine for snacks except that instead of inserting coins, u insert ur library card and instead of dispensing snacks, books are dispensed. I like the idea. Kinda like implying that books are food. They are in a sense. Books for thought, digestion of ideas. =)
