A scene from Harold and Maude 1971
Maude

I should like to change into a sunflower most of all. They’re so tall and simple.
What flower would you like to be?

Harold

I don't know. One of these, maybe.

Maude

Why do you say that?

Harold

Because they’re all alike.

Maude

Oooh, but they’re not. Look. See, some are smaller, some are fatter, some grow to the left, some to the right, some even have lost some petals. All kinds of observable differences. You see, Harold, I feel that much of the world's sorrow comes from people who are this, [she points to a single daisy] yet allow themselves be treated as that [she gestures to a field of daisies].
