Rose Period

Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or period:

    But earthlier happy is the rose distilled
    Than that which, withering on the virgin thorn,
    Grows, lives, and dies in single blessedness.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There is a period near the beginning of every man’s life when he has little to cling to except his unmanageable dream, little to support him except good health, and nowhere to go but all over the place.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
