“Spring is the time of plans and projects.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America

“What a strange thing!
to be alive
beneath cherry blossoms.”
― Kobayashi Issa, Poems
