I glanced out the window at the signs of spring. The sky was almost blue, the trees were almost budding, the sun was almost bright.

Millard Kaufman

I enjoy the spring more than the autumn now. One does, I think, as one gets older.

Virginia Woolf, Jacob's Room

[bookishfae2019]

Spring is the time of plans and projects.

Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.

Rainer Maria Rilke

[bookishfae2019]

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.

Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

[bookishfae2019]

He was a man of black and white. And she was colour. All the colour he had.

Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

Some things are more precious because they don't last long.

— Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

[bookishfae2019]

The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.

~~ Oscar Wilde

"His voice is low and soft, a piece of silk you might keep in a drawer and pull out only on rare occasions, just to feel it between your fingers.''

Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See

[bookishfae2019]

"You know the greatest lesson of history? It's that history is whatever the victors say it is. That's the lesson. Whoever wins, that's who decides the history."

Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See

''We rise again in the grass. In the flowers. In songs.''
