“When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest. The only thing that could spoil a day was people and if you could keep from making engagements, each day had no limits.

― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”
― Pablo Neruda
