Cherry Blossom Quotes

“There is much to be said for cherry blossoms, but they seem so flighty. They are so quick to run off and leave you.

Even the color is somehow companionable and inviting.”

“Oh what wow is the colour pink! Butterflies dance as the winds blink. Look now in March, the tree sticks lean. Shielding Kyoto's landscape, all pink, little green. Pink is the colour of Sakura so awesome! Can you guess the name? You are right, it's Cherry Blossom!”
― Radhika Vijay

“A little cake in a sandwich shop in Kyoto. A single, bright-pink cherry blossom trapped in the snow-white icing.”
― Nigel Slater, A Thousand Feasts: Small Moments of Joy… A Memoir of Sorts
