George Washington Carver quotes

— George Washington Carver
How do I talk to the flower?Through it I walk to the Infinite.And what is the infinite?It is that silent, small force. It isn’t the outer physical contact. No, it isn’t that. The infinite is not confirmed in the visible world.It is not in the earthquake, the wind or the fire. It is that still small voice that calls up the fairies.
