Blooming

Famous quotes containing the word blooming:

    ‘It’s the same the whole world over;
    It’s the poor that gets the blame,
    It’s the rich that gets the pleasure.
    Isn’t it a blooming shame?’
    —Unknown. She Was Poor but She Was Honest (l. 37–40)

    ... Live!/and have your blooming in the noise of the whirlwind.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly you find—at the age of fifty, say—that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about.... It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you.
    Agatha Christie (1891–1976)
