“How right it is to love flowers and the greenery of pines and ivy and hawthorn hedges; they have been with us from the very beginning.” ~ Vincent Van Gogh

“The graceful ivy, clasping the oak that supported it, would form a whole in which strength and beauty would be equally conspicuous.” ~ Mary Wollstonecraft

“Oh roses for the flush of youth, And laurel for the perfect prime; But pluck an ivy branch for me Grown old before my time.” ~ Christina Rossetti
