"In springtime, the only pretty ring time..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“She cannot love, nor take no shape nor project or affection, she is so self-endeared”

“Free from gross passion or of mirth or anger”

“And why not death rather than living torment? To die is to be banish'd from myself; And Silvia is myself: banish'd from her Is self from self: a deadly banishment!”

“April ... hath put a spirit of youth in everything.”

“Only in dreams of springShall I ever see againThe flowering of my cherry trees.”

“No mortal is alert enough to be present at the first dawn of spring.”

“Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear, Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear. So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows. The measure done, I’ll watch her place of stand, And, touching hers, make blessèd my rude hand. Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.”

“Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger. And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine. And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man's ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.”

“If power doesn't mean that you have the opportunity to work with the people that you love , then you haven't really got any.”
