Springtime Quotes
I recall the sudden arpeggios of laughter lilting across the tender, springtime grass - gay-welling, far-floating, fluent, spontaneous, a bell-like feminine fluting, then suppressed; as though snuffed swiftly and irrevocably beneath the quiet solemnity of the vespered air now vibrant with somber chapel bells.
Ralph Ellison
To whom it may concern: It is springtime. It is late afternoon.
Kurt Vonnegut
A man is not a bird, to come and go with the springtime.
Arthur Miller
The Olympic Games are the quadrennial celebration of the springtime of humanity.
Pierre de Coubertin
This is not the land of my birth, but it is the land for which I hold the greatest affection, and I certainly will come back in the springtime.
John F. Kennedy
Look, I guess it's natural, you're teenagers, its springtime, everyone's thoughts are turning to birds and bees and caterpillars and moths..... - Iggy.
James Patterson
The sincerity of the art worker must permeate the song as naturally as the green leaves break through the dead branches in springtime.
Alma Gluck
Lead Tenor Stormtrooper: Springtime, for Hitler, and Germany Winter, for Poland and France!
Mel Brooks
Here by the baring bough Raking up leaves, Often I ponder how Springtime deceives,- I, an old woman now, Raking up leaves.
Thomas Hardy
[Only federalism] allows democratic control and can punish abuses of power. Only federalism can guarantee respect for national character and regional variety. ... The springtime of Europe is still before us.
Jacques Delors
We plant this stone as some small seed Is sown at springtime, warm with earth; We sow this seed as some good deed Is sown, to grow until its worth Shall grow, through rugged steeps of time, To touch the God-built stars sublime.
Joaquin Miller
You can lose a friend in springtime easier than any other season if you're too curious.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
I waited for you on the running boards, near the cypress trees, while the springtime turned slowly into autumn.
Bob Dylan
Love is a springtime plant that perfumes everything with its hope, even the ruins to which it clings.
Gustave Flaubert
The beauty of the forests of Indiana in the rich and lovely month of May surpasses all description. The rivers, swollen by the rains, flow through long lanes of verdure, caressing the islands they seem to carry with them in their course and which look like floating nosegays. The trees raise their straight trunks to the height of more than a hundred and twenty feet and are crowned with tops of admirable beauty. The magnolia, the dog-wood, the catalpa, covered with white flowers, the permed snow of the springtime, intermingle with the delicate green of the other trees.
Théodore Guérin
Like the Soviet regime before it, the Putin government spreads fear by destroying the illusion that one can protect oneself... People who work at two Moscow restaurants have warned me, separately, about the precise locations of listening devices at the eateries. The warnings came unbidden. The food at both places was, incidentally, not only very good but also apparently safe. That, along with the springtime sun, helps maintain the bizarre sense of normalcy that has a way of going hand in hand with the mortal danger that has become a fact of everyday life.
Masha Gessen
Each year at springtime scores of people on snowmobiles crash through the melting ice on the lakes of Minnesota and drown. Pressure is mounting on the new governor to pass a protective law. He, the former wrestler and bodyguard, has the only sage answer to this: "You can´t legislate stupidity."
Werner Herzog
Young people have to stop flattering themselves that they're Nostradamus and would have foreseen, had they been around then, everything that's unacceptable now. And for further context Mel Brooks wrote one of the most successful musicals of all time around the song 'Springtime for Hitler.'
Bill Maher
Something there is that can refresh and revivify older people: joy in the activities of the younger generation-a joy, to be sure, that is clouded by dark forebodings in these unsettled times. And yet, as always, the springtime sun brings forth new life, and we may rejoice because of this new life and contribute to its unfolding; and Mozart remains as beautiful and tender as he always was and always will be. There is, after all, something eternal that lies beyond reach of the hand of fate and of all human delusions. And such eternals lie closer to an older person than to a younger one oscillating between fear and hope. For us, there remains the privilege of experiencing beauty and truth in their purest forms.
Albert Einstein
Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.
Martin Luther
Mathematical discoveries, like springtime violets in the woods, have their season which no man can hasten or retard.
Janos Bolyai
Florentine... Florentine Lacasse... half song, half squalor, half springtime, half misery, the young man murmured.
Gabrielle Roy
