Quote examples
Said Nursi
Turkish Theologian
The fact that there is a unity in everything demonstrates that they are the works and artefacts of a single being. The universe is like a rosebud swathed in a thousand veils of unity. Or it is a single macroanthropos dressed in unities to the number of Divine Names and universal Divine works.

Robert Southey
English Poet
A kitten is in the animal world what a rosebud is in the garden.
