#3. Must be I find you
tough and lusty as the life,
all toil and tempo,
finesse and plain fight,
with values so old they startle me.
Must be I think of you
as I do the rugged flowers
that prove themselves over and over in the spring,
that elsewhere might perish,
but here master the earth,
bloom into gangly lives of high color,
and inhale the sun, knowing the land
better than the land does.
Hardy, savvy,
they will outlive us all. #Quote by Diane Ackerman

#4. Poetry, at the best, does us a kind of violence that prose fiction rarely attempts or accomplishes. #Quote by Harold Bloom

#5. The Genesis Of Butterflies

The dawn is smiling on the dew that covers
The tearful roses; lo, the little lovers
That kiss the buds, and all the flutterings
In jasmine bloom, and privet, of white wings,
That go and come, and fly, and peep and hide,
With muffled music, murmured far and wide.
Ah, the Spring time, when we think of all the lays
That dreamy lovers send to dreamy mays,
Of the fond hearts within a billet bound,
Of all the soft silk paper that pens wound,
The messages of love that mortals write
Filled with intoxication of delight,
Written in April and before the May time
Shredded and flown, playthings for the wind's playtime,
We dream that all white butterflies above,
Who seek through clouds or waters souls to love,
And leave their lady mistress in despair,
To flit to flowers, as kinder and more fair,
Are but torn love-letters, that through the skies
Flutter, and float, and change to butterflies #Quote by Victor Hugo

#7. I'm a comedian, and I have my share of anxiety and depression; so do most of my friends.

And so I really like playing with those because that's how I feel. #Quote by Rachel Bloom

#8. By "empathy," some people mean everything that is good - compassion, kindness, warmth, love, being a mensch, changing the world - and I'm for all of those things. I'm not a monster. #Quote by Paul Bloom

#11. The ideal of toleration sounds like a formal condition allowing all flowers to bloom, but it turns out on examination to adumbrate a determinate form of life no less intrusive than the Sharia or "fundamentalist" Christianity. #Quote by Kenneth Minogue

#12. It grieved him plaguily, he said, to see the nuptial couch defrauded of its dearest pledges: and to reflect upon so many agreeable females with rich jointures, a prey for the vilest bonzes, who hide their flambeau under a bushel in an uncongenial cloister or lose their womanly bloom in the embraces of some unaccountable muskin when they might multiply the inlets of happiness, sacrificing the inestimable jewel of their sex when a hundred pretty fellows were at hand to caress, this, he assured them, made his heart weep. #Quote by James Joyce

#14. At the center of the bouquet is a monstrous peony, probably purchased on sale at the supermarket. By Tuesday its curling petals had begun to collect at the bottom of the vase, infusing the room with the faint but unmistakable sweet odor of corruption and imminent death ... In Tick's opinion there was something extravagantly excessive about the peony from the start, as if God had intended so suggest with this particular bloom that you could have too much of a good thing. The swiftness with which the fallen petals bean to stink drove the point home in case anybody missed it. As a rule, Tick leans toward believing that there is no God, but she isn't so sure at times like this, when pockets of meaning emerge so clearly that they feel like divine communication. #Quote by Richard Russo

#17. Some people think that without that spark of empathy we would do nothing, but that's just flat-out wrong. You could feel compassion for somebody without the spark of empathy. #Quote by Paul Bloom

Is hung with bloom along the bough. #Quote by A.E. Housman

That somehow the right is the right
And the smooth shall bloom from the rough:
Lord, if that were enough? #Quote by Robert Louis Stevenson

The class hummed, protesting against this anticlimax which left so much to the imagination.
"Why you didn´t?" cried Mr. Bloom, with a knowing nod to the Misses Mitnick and Caravello.
Mr. Kaplan´s face was a study in sufferance. "Becawss de funeral vas in de meedle of the veek," he sighed.

Becawss I tought of dat dip American idea, ´Business before pleasure! #Quote by Leo Rosten

'Stop it!' Joanie yells, pushing Hannah back against the sink. 'Stop! Stop saying that!'
'It's true!'
'It's not true!'
'THEN LOOK ME IN THE EYE,' Hannah roars, 'AND TELL ME, WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY, THAT HOW I FEEL ISN'T WRONG THAT IT'S NOT BAD, THAT IT'S NOT DISGUSTING AND PERVERTED AND F---ED UP - '
'IT'S NOT!' Joanie screams, shoving Hannah hard.
Hannah falls back against the sink; at once, she feels a bruise bloom on the skin of her back. Joanie glares at her, her eyes still blazing, and Hannah breathes heavily and blinks against the warm tears forming in her eyes.
'I don't believe you,' Hannah says. #Quote by Kelly Quindlen

#33. Beauty makes me hopeless. I don't care why anymore I just want to get away. When I look at the city of Paris I long to wrap my legs around it.

#34. An education, other than purely professional or technical, can even seem to be an impediment. #Quote by Allan Bloom

#35. A Rose in Winter
A crimson bloom in winter's snow,
Born out of time, like a maiden's woe,
Spawned in a season when the chill winds blow.
'Twas found in a sheltered spot,
Bright sterling gules and blemished not,
Red as a drop o' blood from the broken heart,
Of the maid who waits and weeps atop the tor,
Left behind by yon argent knight sworn to war,
'Til ajousting and aquesting he goes no more.
Fear not, Sweet Jo, amoulderin' on the moor.
The winter's rose doth promise in the fading runes of yore,
That true love once found will again be restored. #Quote by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss

#36. He pointed to another number, changing as rapidly as the first, but on a lower trajectory; it rose to a high of 8.79 rem per hour. Several lifetimes of dentists' X-rays, to be sure; but the radiation outside the storm shelter would have been a lethal dose, so they were getting off lightly. Still, the amount flying through the rest of the ship! Billions of particles were penetrating the ship and colliding with the atoms of water and metal they were huddled behind; hundreds of millions were flying between these atoms and then through the atoms of their bodies, touching nothing, as if they were no more than ghosts. Still, thousands were striking atoms of flesh and bone. Most of those collisions were harmless; but in all those thousands, there were in all probability one or two (or three?) in which a chromosome strand was taking a hit, and kinking in the wrong way: and there it was. Tumor initiation, begun with just that typo in the book of the self. And years later, unless the victim's DNA luckily repaired itself, the tumor promotion that was a more or less unavoidable part of living would have its effect, and there would appear a bloom of Something Else inside: cancer. Leukemia, most likely; and, most likely, death. #Quote by Kim Stanley Robinson

#38. Let those desert places in our hearts bloom. #Quote by Pope Francis

#39. A star will shine in the midst of darkness.
A flower will bloom in the midst of dirt.
A camel will flourish in the midst of doubt.
A diamond will form in the midst of pressure.
A champion will rise in the midst of hardship. #Quote by Matshona Dhliwayo
