You ought to know that October is the first Spring month.

If dogs could talk, perhaps we would find it as hard to get along with them as we do with people.

Karel Capek 71 quotes

Let no one think that real gar...

Let no one think that real gardening is a bucolic and meditative occupation. It is an insatiable passion, like everything else to which a man gives his heart.

Karel Capek 71 quotes

There came into the world an unlimited abundance of everything people need. But people need everything except unlimited abundance.

Among human beings, a cat is merely a cat; among cats, a cat is a prowling shadow in a jungle.

Karel Capek 71 quotes

I find that a real gardener is...

I find that a real gardener is not a man who cultivates flowers; he is a man who cultivates the soil. He is a creature who digs himself into the earth and leaves the sight of what is on it to us gaping good-for-nothings. He lives buried in the ground. He builds his monument in a heap of compost. If he came into the Garden of Eden, he would sniff excitedly and say: 'Good Lord, what humus!'

Karel Capek 71 quotes

Cognition is not fighting, but once someone knows a lot, he will have much to fight for, so much that he will be called a relativist because of it.

There are several ways to lay out a little garden; the best way is to get a gardener.

Socialism is good when it comes to wages, but it tells me nothing when it comes to other questions in life that are more private and painful, for which I must seek answers elsewhere.

It's not possible to search for God using the methods of a detective... There is no way. You can only wait till God's axe severs your roots: then you will understand that you are here only through a miracle, and you will remain fixed forever in wonderment and equilibrium.

Karel Capek 71 quotes

While we only look at Nature i...

While we only look at Nature it is fair to say that Autumn is the end of the year; but it is still more true that Autumn is the beginning of the year.... Autumn is the time when in fact the leaves bud. Leaves wither because winter begins; but they also wither because spring is already beginning, because new buds are being made, as tiny as percussion caps out of which the spring will crack.... It is only an optical illusion that my flowers die in autumn; for in reality they are born.

I think I am slowly becoming an anarchist, that this is only another label for my privateness, and I think that you will understand this in the sense of being against collectivity.

You never realize a dog is a man's best friend until you start betting on horses.

Dumb dog. I bought a dog whistle. He won't use it.

A guy wanted the vet to cut his dog's tail off. The vet asked why. Well, my mother in law is visiting next month and I want to eliminate any possible indication that she is welcome.

Only years of practice will teach you the mysteries and bold certainty of a real gardener, who treads at random, yet tramples on nothing.

I've found a place that would amaze you. People used to live there, but now it's all overgrown and no one goes there. Absolutely no one - only me... Just a little house and a garden. And two dogs.

Karel Capek 71 quotes

WeВґre two, two for everything...

WeВґre two, two for everything, for love, life, for a fight and pain, for hours of happiness. Two for wins and losses, for life and for death - TWO!

A short life is better for mankind, for a long life would deprive man of his optimism.
