And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.
― Roald Dahl

Believe something and the Universe is on its way to being changed. Because you've changed, by believing. Once you've changed, other things start to follow. Isn't that the way it works?
― Diane Duane

Vintage Botanical Illustrations: Varieties of Violas and Pansies

“Sometimes,” he sighed, “I think the things I remember
are more real than the things I see.”
― Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha

If you cannot hold me in your arms, then hold my memory in high regard.
And if I cannot be in your life, then at least let me live in your heart.
― Ranata Suzuki
While violas and pansies are often confused for each other, they are actually distinct members of the Violaceae family. The most obvious distinction is the size of the flowers. Violas generally have smaller, more delicate blooms than their pansy counterparts. Throughout history, these flowers have been used as symbols of innocence, humility, modesty, fidelity, remembrance, grief, faithfulness, and virtue.
