" Friendship is the golden thread that ties the heart of all the world. "

John Evelyn
" I saw his Majestie go with as much pompe and splendor as any Earthly prince could do to the greate Citty feast. "

John Evelyn

Ian Hamilton Finlay
" However, I don't feel the world is looking over my shoulder when I am working - I never think about this at all. What I think about is trying to make my work pure, and if it is pure then it can be accessible. It is quite straight forward really. "

Ian Hamilton Finlay
" I am always a beginner. I only try to include different parts of life; the pastoral, the tragic, et cetera. "

Ian Hamilton Finlay
" I am not a modern man, I am just a wee old fashioned one. "

Ian Hamilton Finlay
" I came to these mediums through having the garden, and of course, people who have designed gardens have always worked in collaboration, and never made their own inscriptions. "

Ian Hamilton Finlay
" I have often said that just as the French revolution, for instance, understood itself through antiquity, I think our time can be understood through the French revolution. It is quite a natural process to use other times to understand your own time. "
