Gary Vaynerchuk

My dad is like a cactus - introverted and tough. I'm a people person, like my mom, but I got my competitiveness from my dad. He came to this country from Belarus with nothing and built a real business. He's my hero for giving me that need to run a business and for having enormous confidence in me.

In Mexico, when we want to speak deep secrets, we drink pulgue together. It is a drink made from the cactus plant, and when you take the bottle from your mouth, it leaves a string behind, between the mouth and the bottle, like a spider's web. It shows that the truth sticks inside.

Takashi Murakami

I'm always very interested in breeding. Raising cacti is breeding. My lotus plant collection is breeding. The insects are breeding.

The cardones cactus is very similar to saguaro cactus in Arizona. These cacti only grow in very specific, particular places.

A cactus doesn't live in the desert because it likes the desert; it lives there because the desert hasn't killed it yet.

American Scientist

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Hope is not a resting place but a starting point - a cactus, not a cushion.
