“Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.”
 
- Stanley Horowitz

Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.
 
~Mark Overby

A bell is no bell 'til you ring it,
A song is no song 'til you sing it,
And love in your heart
Wasn’t put there to stay -
Love isn’t love
'Til you give it away.
~Oscar Hammerstein, Sound of Music, "You Are Sixteen (Reprise)"
