and enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature. The garden can incorporate both natural and man-made materials. The most common form today is known as a residential garden, but the term garden has traditionally been a more general one. Zoos, which display wild animals in simulated natural habitats, were formerly called zoological gardens. Western gardens are almost universally based on plants, with garden often signifying a shortened form of botanical garden. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Quotes">Quotes</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Gardens&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Quotes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:William_Blake_Eve_Tempted_by_the_Serpent.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/William_Blake_Eve_Tempted_by_the_Serpent.jpg/220px-William_Blake_Eve_Tempted_by_the_Serpent.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="156" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/William_Blake_Eve_Tempted_by_the_Serpent.jpg/330px-William_Blake_Eve_Tempted_by_the_Serpent.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/William_Blake_Eve_Tempted_by_the_Serpent.jpg/440px-William_Blake_Eve_Tempted_by_the_Serpent.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1180" data-file-height="835" /></a><figcaption>We may eat of the fruit of the <a href="/wiki/Trees" title="Trees">trees</a> of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, <a href="/wiki/God" title="God">God</a> hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye <a href="/wiki/Die" class="mw-redirect" title="Die">die</a>. ~ <a href="/wiki/Eve" title="Eve">Eve</a> </figcaption></figure> <dl><dd><small>Sorted alphabetically by author or source</small></dd></dl> <ul><li>Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are <a href="/wiki/Fairies" title="Fairies">fairies</a> at the bottom of it too? <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Douglas_Adams" title="Douglas Adams">Douglas Adams</a>, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy" title="The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy">The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy</a></i> (1979), <a href="/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy#Chapter_16" title="The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy">Chapter 16</a></li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>Show me your garden, provided it be your own, and I will tell you what you are like. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Alfred_Austin" title="Alfred Austin">Alfred Austin</a>, <i>The Garden That I Love</i> (London: Macmillan and Co., 1894), p. 112.</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>Exclusiveness in a garden is a mistake as great as it is in society. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Alfred_Austin" title="Alfred Austin">Alfred Austin</a>, <i>The Garden That I Love</i> (London: Macmillan and Co., 1894), p. 117.</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>Si hortum in bibliotheca habes, nihil deerit. <ul><li><b>If you have a garden in the <a href="/wiki/Library" class="mw-redirect" title="Library">library</a>, we will have everything we <a href="/wiki/Need" title="Need">need</a>.</b></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Cicero" title="Cicero">Cicero</a>, <i>Ad Familiares</i> IX, 4, to Varro.</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>God the first garden made, and the first city, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cain" class="extiw" title="w:Cain">Cain</a>. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Abraham_Cowley" title="Abraham Cowley">Abraham Cowley</a>, <i>Several Discourses by Way of Essays in Verse and Prose</i> (1668), 5.

In the great legend of the Fall the spiritual disaster of Man is symbolised by his exclusion from a garden, and the moral tragedy of modern industrialism is only the repetition of that ancient fable.

But this time, my consciousness of the world seemed larger, more complex. It was the mystic's sensation of oneness, of everything blending into everything else. Everything I looked at reminded me of something else, which also became present to my consciousness, as if I were simultaneously seeing a million worlds and smelling a million scents and hearing a million sounds—not mixed up, but each separate and clear. I was overwhelmed with a sense of my smallness in the face of this vast, beautiful, <i>objective</i> universe, this universe whose chief miracle is that it exists, as well as myself. It is no dream, but a great garden in which life is trying to obtain a foothold. I experienced a desire to burst into tears of gratitude; then I controlled it, and the feeling subsided into a calm sense of immense, infinite beauty. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Colin_Wilson" title="Colin Wilson">Colin Wilson</a>, <i>The Philosopher's Stone</i> (1967), pp. 237-238.</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>[N]one but a poet could have made such a garden. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Samuel_Johnson" title="Samuel Johnson">Samuel Johnson</a>, on <a href="/wiki/John_Scott_of_Amwell" title="John Scott of Amwell">John Scott</a>'s garden at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Amwell" class="extiw" title="w:Great Amwell">Amwell</a>.<br />Quoted in Evelyn Noble Armitage, <i>Quaker Poets</i> (1896), p. 242</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>There was a man named Lessingham dwelt in an old low house in Wastdale, set in a gray old garden where yew-trees flourished that had seen Vikings in Copeland in their seedling time. Lily and rose and larkspur bloomed in the borders, and begonias with blossoms big as saucers, red and white and pink and lemon-colour, in the beds before the porch. Climbing roses, honeysuckle, clematis, and the scarlet flame-flower scrambled up the walls. Thick woods were on every side without the garden, with a gap north-eastward opening on the desolate lake and the great fells beyond it: Gable rearing his crag-bound head against the sky from behind the straight clean outline of the Screes.<div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div>Cool long shadows stole across the tennis lawn. The air was golden. Doves murmured in the trees; two chaffinches played on the near post of the net; a little water-wagtail scurried along the path. A French window stood open to the garden, showing darkly a dining-room panelled with old oak, its Jacobean table bright with flowers and silver and cut glass and Wedgwood dishes heaped with fruit: greengages, peaches, and green muscat grapes. Lessingham lay back in a hammock-chair watching through the blue smoke of an after-dinner cigar the warm light on the Gloire de Dijon roses that clustered about the bedroom window overhead. He had her hand in his. This was their House. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/E._R._Eddison" class="mw-redirect" title="E. R. Eddison">E. R.
