Temporary Joy Quotes

“Like an old friend who returns for the summer, fills the whole room with love and laughter, then before you know it disappears into the sun on another merry adventure. You don't want to clip his wings and make him stay against his wishes - that would be totally unjust and a terrible thing - but just a tiny, little bit more time would be lovely.”
― Matt Sewell, Our Garden Birds: A Bird for Every Week of the Year

“Beware the thrill of ephemeral joys”
― Wiss Auguste, They Called Us Savages
