“I was behind in school, there were papers to write and exams were coming up but still I was young; the grass was green and the air was heavy with the sound of bees and I had just come back from the brink of Death itself, back to the sun and air. Now I was free; and my life, which I had thought was lost, stretched out indescribably precious and sweet before me.”
― Donna Tartt

“Sweet mother, I cannot weave –
slender Aphrodite has overcome me
with longing for a girl.”
― Sappho, Sappho: A New Translation of the Complete Works

“And if time was kind, I’d find something to live for besides the memory of her.”
― Audrey Coulthurst, Of Fire and Stars

“There's so much spring in the air-- there's so much lazy sweetness in your heart.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise
