quotes

But there is as much of life in autumn as of death, and as much of creation and of growth as of passing away. Every flower has left its house full of seeds. No leaf has dropped until a bud was born to it. Already, another year is hidden along the boughs; another summer is secure among the declining flowers.

Henry Ward Beecher, Star Papers, 1855

She said she usually cried at least once a day not because she was sad but because the world was so beautiful & life was so short.
