[Spring is] when life's alive in everything.

Love shall be our token; love be yours and love be mine.

—Christina Rossetti

Silence is more musical than any song.

—Christina Rossetti

In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago.

—Christina Rossetti

My heart is like a singing bird.

—Christina Rossetti

The year hastens to its close. What is it to me? That I am twenty-five or fifty-eight is as nothing. Should I mourn that the spring flowers are gone, that the summer fruit has ripened, that the harvest is reaped, that the snow has fallen?

—Ralph Waldo Emerson

Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn.

—Walter Scott

You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming.

—Pablo Neruda

To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.

—George Santayana

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

—Albert Camus
