Silly Saturday fun: compost quotes

Just a little Saturday silliness–a few quotes about compost.

Ani DiFranco:

I'm queen of my own compost heap & I'm getting used to the smell.

Bette Midler:

My whole life has been spent waiting for an epiphany, a manifestation of God's presence, the kind of transcendent, magical experience that let's you see your place in the big picture. And that is what I had with my first compost heap.

Hamlet:

Confess yourself to heaven,
Repent what's past, avoid what is to come,
And do not spread the compost on the weeds
To make them ranker.

George Meredith:

Earth knows no desolation.
She smells regeneration in the moist breath of decay.

Anne Scott-James:

However small your garden, you must provide for two of the serious gardener's necessities, a tool shed and a compost heap.

Anonymous:

A good compost pile should get hot enough to poach an egg, but not so hot it would cook a lobster.
