Famous quotes containing the words recoil and/or spring:

    “Violence does, in truth, recoil upon the violent, and the schemer falls into the pit which he digs for another.”
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    “For winter’s rains and ruins are over,
    And all the seasons of snows and sins;
    The days dividing lover and lover,
    The light that loses, the night that wins;
    And time remembered is grief forgotten,
    And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
    And in green underwood and cover
    Blossom by blossom the spring begins.”
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)
