At a box store a few years ago my Wife was buying up several small tropicals and telling me the names of each as they were all labeled Bonsai and I don't normally do them. Meanwhile there is a woman looking at them and after my Wife spouted out several names the women standing next to her whispered "It is a Bonsai" We smiled, walked away and I told my Wife "I guess hers will all die"

Dario posted this on his Facebook Group. I kinda like it:
Masahiko Kimura was asked;
“Can you teach anyone to make bonsai?”
His response was “I can teach you techniques such as trimming and wiring.
But I can't teach you imagination. That comes from within.”
