Updated with quotes for December 2019:

Classic:
Only connect.
— E. M. Forster, Howards End, 1910.

Direct:
Whoever is turned into an island, dies. Whoever prevents that, redeems the world.
— Eliminating Professors, 1998.

Garden moment for December 2019:

To celebrate the season, the southern red cedar (Juniperus silicicola) adorns itself with a profusion of blue berries. Young specimens make great Christmas trees, but old twisted ones have more character.
