Vase Quotations

I think acting is about forgetting yourself in order to give the best of yourself. It's passing through you more than you're creating it. You're not the flower, but the vase which holds the flower.
Juliette Binoche

Break a vase, and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole.
Derek Walcott

You can only mend the vase so many times before you have to chuck it away.
Christine McVie

The flower in the vase smiles, but no longer laughs.
Malcolm De Chazal
