Famous quotes containing the words flowers, flower and/or buds:
“Eftsoones the Nymphes, which now had Flowers their fill,
Ran all in haste, to see that silver brood,
As they came floating on the Christal Flood,”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
“This queen will live. Nature awakes,
A warmth breathes out of her. She hath not been
Entranced above five hours. See how she ‘gins
To blow into life’s flower again.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“For me chemistry represented an indefinite cloud of future potentialities which enveloped my life to come in black volutes torn by fiery flashes, like those which had hidden Mount Sinai. Like Moses, from that cloud I expected my law, the principle of order in me, around me, and in the world.... I would watch the buds swell in spring, the mica glint in the granite, my own hands, and I would say to myself: “I will understand this, too, I will understand everything.””
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
