Délicieuse ambiguité / Delicious Ambiguity

Tonight, I was looking at a picture I took about six months ago. I should probably not admit it, but I really like it even if I am not sure why, or perhaps because I don’t know why. Anyway, that photograph makes me wonder. When I look at it, words come, different, indistinct, and ambivalent. So, I decided to surf the Internet for quotations with those key words. Then I made a selection. Quotations I liked, quotations that made me smile, but are they quotations about that photograph? Before you read them, a piece of advice: “Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.” (Francis Bacon, 1561-1626, British Philosopher, Essayist, Statesman).
Voilà donc le résultat du hasard et de l’esprit qui s’emballe :

Fitzhenry)"Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious AMBIGUITY." (Gilda Radner)
"The flower is the poetry of reproduction. It is the example of the eternal SEDUCTIVENESS of life." (Jean Giraudoux)
"When God created two SEXEs, he may have been overdoing it." (Charles M. Smith)
