Kuni inimene on õitsvas nooruseas, arvab ta, et lilled on midagi säärast, mida kantakse nööpaugus või kingitakse tütarlastele; tal ei ole õrna aimugi… - Karel Čapek
" "Kuni inimene on õitsvas nooruseas, arvab ta, et lilled on midagi säärast, mida kantakse nööpaugus või kingitakse tütarlastele; tal ei ole õrna aimugi sellest, et lilled on midagi säärast, mis elavad ületalve, nõuavad mulla kobestamist ja väetamist ja kastmist ja ümberistutamist ja tagasilõikamist ja pügamist ja sidumist ning umbrohust ja viljadest ja kuivanud lehtedest ja täidest ja jahukastest vabastamist; selle asemel, et tegelda peenarde ümberkaevamisega, jookseb noormees tütarlaste sabas, rahuldades oma auahnust ja lõigates elu hüvesid, mida ta ise pole külvanud, ja käitub üleüldse ja igati destruktiivselt.

Additional quotes by Karel Čapek
His life was now the life of a collector, and that gave it meaning. Evening after evening he would count and arrange his cuttings under the indulgent eyes of Mrs. Povondra who knew that every man is partly mad and partly a little child; it was better for him to play with his cuttings than to go out drinking and playing cards. She even made some space in the scullery for all the boxes he had made himself for his collection; could anything more be asked of a wife?
