Opens a bottle:

"You have made a place in my heart where I thought there was no room for anything else.
You have made flowers grow where I cultivated dust and stones."

By: Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time"

Opens another bottle:

"I almost wish we were butterflies
and liv'd but three summer days -
three such days with you I could fill
with more delight than fifty common
years could ever contain"

By: John Keats

You pull the cork out of the bottle and gently fish the paper out of it. Unrolling it, you see that it reads:

"I wish I had the gift of making rhymes, for methinks there is poetry in my head and heart since I have been in love with you."

--Nathaniel Hawthorne, letter to wife Sophia, 5 December 1839

I had a quote from Woody Harrelson

Uhm, how does one get the plants for crafting? I know they were part of a formal Epic Week, but..how to get them now?

Also, I got a message in a bottle, but I put it on display. Any more I get I will open! I figured opening it did something, but, I wanted one for display!

Quote: "Love is the condition in the human spirit so profound that it empowers us to develop courage; to trust that courage and build bridges with it; to trust those bridges and cross over them so we can attempt to reach each other"

By: Maya Angelou

You pull the cork out of the bottle and gently fish the paper out of it. Unrolling it, you see that it reads:

--Honore de Balzac

After the day's great sun."

How often do the things refresh? 15 minutes? 30 minutes?

"Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there."

--Otomo No Yakamochi

I found one saying "The brothers were almost human." I wonder if this is a clue to one of the riddles? It's awfully cryptic.

Then there was another one earlier with a quote from Leo Tolstoy, but I've already forgotten what it said.

"Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts."

--William Shakespeare
