Famous quotes containing the words robin and/or flower:

    But strictly between us,
    You’re cuter than Venus and what’s more you’ve got arms.
    —Leo Robin (1900–1984)

    Punishment is a fruit that unsuspected ripens within the flower of the pleasure which concealed it. Cause and effect, means and ends, seed and fruit, cannot be severed; for the effect already blooms in the cause, the end preexists in the means, the fruit in the seed.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
