Francis H. Cabot Quotes (1 Quote)

Gardening is such a highly individual area that it is irresistible to egocentrics.... The word is used in its broadest, most correct sense and is not to be confused with egoist. It includes not only those who are normally, naturally selfcentered, but also those who have been rendered selfcentered by circumstances those who are lonely, timid, shy those who have a compulsion to express themselves in some art or other and, especially, those who are ostriches, who are only truly happy when they escape from the bewilderment of daily life by burying their heads in an interesting, wellordered, and preferably beautiful landscape.
