It is spring time now! While the world looks for a new war to fight, you look for a cherry blossom to watch! Let the stupid seeks the violence; you seek the elegance! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Cherry Blossom quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
There was a mild wind in the air, and one or two petals of cherry blossom were falling gently to the ground. It was the kind of day you often have in late March - so perfect that you want it to last for ever. ~ Noboyuki Yuasa
Cherry Blossom quotes by Noboyuki Yuasa
If you blink, you might miss it. You might miss the wet floor at the threshold, symbolically cleansing you before the meal begins. You might overlook the flower arrangement in the corner, a spare expression of the passing season. You might miss the scroll on the wall drawn with a single unbroken line, signaling the infinite continuity of nature. You might not detect the gentle current of young ginger rippling through the dashi, the extra sheet of Hokkaido kelp in the soup, the mochi that is made to look like a cherry blossom at midnight.
You might miss the water. ~ Matt Goulding
Cherry Blossom quotes by Matt Goulding
Or in Brooklyn Botanic Gardes during the cherry blossom season? ~ Laurelin Paige
Cherry Blossom quotes by Laurelin Paige
Outside it's a perfect spring night. We stand on the sidewalk in front of our apartment building, and Henry takes my hand, and I look at him, and I raise our joined hands and Henry twirls me around and soon we're dancing down Belle Plaine Avenue, no music but the sound of cars whoosing by and our own laughter, and the smell of cherry blossoms that fall like snow on the sidewalk as we dance underneath the tress. ~ Audrey Niffenegger
Cherry Blossom quotes by Audrey Niffenegger
Along the wide curving moat surrounding the palace, rows of cherry trees announced the end of their seasonal beauty. Some of the trees were weeping: blossoms in white and palest pink, ponderous with decreptitude, eddying on the brown water, stirred by the paddling of ducks. ~ John Burnham Schwartz
Cherry Blossom quotes by John Burnham Schwartz
Finally, we would have been offered either a spring takiawase, meaning "foods boiled or stewed together," or a wanmori (the apex of a tea kaiseki meal) featuring seasonal ingredients, such as a cherry blossom-pink dumpling of shrimp and egg white served in a dashi base accented with udo, a plant with a white stalk and leaves that tastes like asparagus and celery, and a sprig of fresh sansho, the aromatic young leaves from the same plant that bears the seedpods the Japanese grind into the tongue-numbing spice always served with fatty eel. ~ Victoria Abbott Riccardi
Cherry Blossom quotes by Victoria Abbott Riccardi
Ah, if in this world there were no such thing as cherry blossoms, perhaps then in springtime our hearts would be at peace. ~ Ariwara No Narihira
Cherry Blossom quotes by Ariwara No Narihira
I thought of how Midori had once articulated the idea of mono no aware, a sensibility that, though frequently obscured during cherry blossom viewing by the cacophony of drunken doggerel and generator-powered television sets, remains steadfast in one of the two cultures from which I come. She had called it "the sadness of being human." A wise, accepting sadness, she had said. I admired her for the depths of character such a description indicated. For me, sad has always been a synonym for bitter, and I suspect this will always be so. ~ Barry Eisler
Cherry Blossom quotes by Barry Eisler
There is much to be said for cherry blossoms, but they seem so flighty. They are so quick to run off and leave you. And then just when your regrets are the strongest the wisteria comes into bloom, and it blooms on into the summer. There is nothing quite like it. Even the color is somehow companionable and inviting. ~ Murasaki Shikibu
Cherry Blossom quotes by Murasaki Shikibu
[And there was the matter of Dick Turpin. It looked like the same car, except that forever afterwards it seemed able to do 250 miles on a gallon of petrol, ran so quietly that you practically had to put your mouth over the exhaust pipe to see if the engine was firing , and issued its voice-synthesized warnings in a series of exquisite and perfectly-phrased haikus, each one original and apt ...
Late frost burns the bloom
Would a fool not let the belt
Restrain the body?
... it would say. And,
The cherry blossom
Tumbles from the highest tree
One needs more petrol] ~ Terry Pratchett
Cherry Blossom quotes by Terry Pratchett
Beauty is the wilful celebration of the self.
The Cherry Blossom blooms but it does not try to be a Lotus Flower. ~ Kerry Cue
Cherry Blossom quotes by Kerry Cue
Now they're both laughing, and when they breathe in, the cloying smell of cherry blossom shampoo fills the air around them, which just makes them laugh harder, until they're all laughed out.

And in the silence that falls afterward, something changes. The tension that has been strung taut between them since the moment they met now goes slack. Soon the motion of the bus begins lulling them to sleep. Lev feels Miracolina lean into his shoulder. He doesn't move for fear of waking her. He just enjoys the feeling of her there - certain that she would never do such a thing if she were awake.

And then she says, with no hint of sleep in her voice, "I forgive you."

Lev feels it begin deep inside him, just as it did on the day he realized his parents would never take him back. It's an emotional swell that can't be contained, and there's no bottle in the world big enough to hold it. And although he fights to keep his sobs silent, his chest begins to heave with them, and he knows he won't be able to stop any more than Miracolina was able to stop laughing. Although she must know he's racked with tears, she says nothing, just keeps her head on his shoulder as his tears fall into her hair.

All this time, Lev never realized what he needed. He did not need to be adored or pitied. He needed to be forgiven. Not by God, who is all-forgiving. Not by people like Marcus and Pastor Dan, who would always stand by his side. He needed to be forgiven by an unfo ~ Neal Shusterman
Cherry Blossom quotes by Neal Shusterman
Making for a summery, aesthetic contrast to all around her; Angela was moving against the current of commuters, the majority of whom were clad in muted attire. In her warm red, front-split, ruffled halter-neck cocktail dress that came to her knees, she was turning more than a few heads. Descending the wet concrete steps of the metro entrance with a grace that surprised Nicola, she reminded her of a cherry blossom falling. ~ Helen E. Barrow
Cherry Blossom quotes by Helen E. Barrow
On a moonlit night, after a snowfall, or under cherry blossoms, it adds to our pleasure if, while chatting at our ease, we bring forth the wine cups. ~ Yoshida Kenko
Cherry Blossom quotes by Yoshida Kenko
It may just be because I get homesick, but I have concluded Washington's cherry blossoms are just plain overrated. ~ Newt Gingrich
Cherry Blossom quotes by Newt Gingrich
The significance of the cherry blossom tree in Japanese culture goes back hundreds of years. In their country, the cherry blossom represents the fragility and the beauty of life. It's a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but that it is also tragically short. ~ Homaro Cantu
Cherry Blossom quotes by Homaro Cantu
Life is fragile Grace – it is no more than a petal of cherry blossom; thriving and in full bloom one minute and blown to the ground by a sudden gust of wind the next. We shouldn't take our life for granted and we should do whatever we can to make ourselves happy. ~ Hazel Gaynor
Cherry Blossom quotes by Hazel Gaynor
Ukraina: he sighs, breathing in the remembered scent of mown hay and cherry blossom. But I catch the distinct synthetic whiff of New Russia. Her ~ Marina Lewycka
Cherry Blossom quotes by Marina Lewycka
I cannot pretend that I understood my mother at the end of her life. I was trying to follow the goals she had set me even though she had rejected them for herself. I took the following to be her death poem: Why do we suffer so in the world? Just regard life as the short bloom of the mountain cherry. Over the years, my opinion of this poem changed. At first I considered it another lament in the pessimistic mode she so often adopted. Then one day I realized it was actually joyous, and my entire understanding of her was transformed. In the end she had no more sorrow than does a cherry blossom at its falling. ~ Liza Dalby
Cherry Blossom quotes by Liza Dalby
The Japanese school year begins in spring ... so mothers can send off their children as cherry blossoms fall from the branches. ~ Cathy Davidson
Cherry Blossom quotes by Cathy Davidson
The ancients waited for cherry blossoms, grieved when they were gone, and lamented their passing in countless poems. How very ordinary the poems had seemed to Sachiko when she read them as a girl, but now she knew, as well as one could know, that grieving over fallen cherry blossoms was more than a fad or convention. ~ Junichiro Tanizaki
Cherry Blossom quotes by Junichiro Tanizaki
You say that, but have you played Cherry Blossom Fairy Five, April May? Have you? ~ Hank Green
Cherry Blossom quotes by Hank Green
She told me that the best and prettiest things never stay around for long. She said that a cherry blossom was too beautiful to last all year. It was more special because its life was short. ~ Tillie Cole
Cherry Blossom quotes by Tillie Cole
Maybe we're like the cherry blossom, Rune. Like shooting stars. Maybe we loved too much too young and burned so bright that we had to fade out." She pointed behind us, to the blossom grove. "Extreme beauty, quick death. We had this love long enough to teach us a lesson. To show us how capable of love we truly are. ~ Tillie Cole
Cherry Blossom quotes by Tillie Cole
Let us find inner freedom in each lucky moment that we encounter, like a sun-basking butterfly that finds peace on a cherry blossom petal. ("I seek you") ~ Erik Pevernagie
Cherry Blossom quotes by Erik Pevernagie
Break open
A cherry tree
And there are no flowers;
But the spring breeze
Brings forth myriad blossoms. ~ Ikkyu
Cherry Blossom quotes by Ikkyu
Her sense of style was juvenile and horrid, and the back of her hand was still inked with a cherry blossom tree she'd drawn in English Lit, so why the fuck was she still hot as shit?
Didn't matter. I hated her anyway.
But her apparent devotion to trying not to be sexy, paired with the fact that she actually was sexy, always made me hard as stone. ~ L.J. Shen
Cherry Blossom quotes by L.J. Shen
For in spite of the snapdragons and the duty millers and the cherry blossoms, it was always winter. ~ Janet Frame
Cherry Blossom quotes by Janet Frame
Some people might be groomed for success; I've just always thought I've got a hell of a lot of things to learn and places to go. Creatively, I couldn't stay on the same treadmill. I chose to be off-centre and do collaborative work. ~ Neneh Cherry
Cherry Blossom quotes by Neneh Cherry
She became uncharacteristically silent, and I suppressed a chuckle. I knew exactly what Jax's body looked like. All of it. It didn't compare to Tristan's, but I could understand why Blossom would be impressed. The man-croc lacked nothing excpect hair ~ Kristie Cook
Cherry Blossom quotes by Kristie Cook
Love, over time, could either blossom or wither, become a source of wonder or a remembered ache. ~ Garrard Conley
Cherry Blossom quotes by Garrard Conley
Although to be fair, cherry picking isn't quite what we do. Cherries are sweet and delicious. What we do is more turd mining. And I'll thank you to give our work the respect it deserves! ~ Jon Stewart
Cherry Blossom quotes by Jon Stewart
I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible; to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance, to live so that which came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom, and that which came to me as blossom, goes on as fruit. ~ Dawna Markova
Cherry Blossom quotes by Dawna Markova
So through the eyes love attains the heart:
For the eyes are the scouts of the heart,
And the eyes go reconnoitering
For what it would please the heart to possess.
And when they are in full accord
And firm, all three, in the one resolve,
At that time, perfect love is born
From what the eyes have made welcome to the heart.
Not otherwise can love either be born or have commencement
Than by this birth and commencement moved by inclination.

By the grace and by command
Of these three, and from their pleasure,
Love is born, who its fair hope
Goes comforting her friends.
For as all true lovers
Know, love is perfect kindness,
Which is born - there is no doubt - from the heart and eyes.
The eyes make it blossom; the heart matures it:
Love, which is the fruit of their very seed. ~ Giraut De Bornelh, Troubador (1138–1215)
Cherry Blossom quotes by Giraut De Bornelh, Troubador (1138–1215)
I'll lie to keep you safe,I'll lie to keep you warm. I'll lie to keep you away from the ugliest fucking storms. ~ Brittainy C. Cherry
Cherry Blossom quotes by Brittainy C. Cherry
I want you. All of you - the good, the bad, the pain, the anger. If you're walking through hell, I'm holding your hand the whole way through. If the fires in our lives keep rising, we'll burn as one. You're it for me, Logan. Yesterday, today, tomorrow - I'm yours. You're my eternal flame. ~ Brittainy C. Cherry
Cherry Blossom quotes by Brittainy C. Cherry
All of us blossom when we feel loved and wither when we do not feel loved. ~ Gary Chapman
Cherry Blossom quotes by Gary Chapman
Sometimes loving someone means knowing they're better off without you. ~ Brittainy C. Cherry
Cherry Blossom quotes by Brittainy C. Cherry
As parents we make choices. We make the hard choices that we never want to. We give things up when it's the hardest thing in the world. We allow our kids to hate us if it means they'll have a better life. We sacrifice every single day. ~ Brittainy C. Cherry
Cherry Blossom quotes by Brittainy C. Cherry
Fackelmann claimed to have started a Log just to keep track of Kite's attempted pickup lines
surefire lines like e.g. 'You're the second most beautiful woman I've ever seen, the first most beautiful woman I've ever seem being former Bristish Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher,' and 'If you came home with me I'm unusually confident that I could achieve an erection,' and said that if Kite wasn't still cherry at twenty-three and a half it was proof of some kind of divine-type grace. ~ David Foster Wallace
Cherry Blossom quotes by David Foster Wallace
Truth is as hard as adamant and tender as a blossom. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Cherry Blossom quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Woman: Wow-Man!

A woman is an exclamation mark on the work of creation! When all was said and done, GOD made her - the crescendo of all that was created.

A woman is the solution to the first problem GOD identified in man: loneliness. Loneliness is like sin, in
that it can alter the entire existence of a man - it can reduce a man, full of significance, to absolute nothing. For sin, GOD gave Jesus. For loneliness, GOD gave Woman!

A woman is a multiplier effect. Shewill take any little and make it a great nation. She incubates dreams, broods over them, stretches them and expands them beyond your wildest dreams.

A good woman is a secret weapon. You are better because of her. She increases you just by reason of being there. It's so clearly stated "He who finds a wife - the one who has a woman on his side - finds a good thing and automatically obtains favors from
the Lord.

You must love on her, be sweet to her, care for her, respect her, involve her, honor her, give her room, be patient with her, be good to her, be kind to her and watch your life completely blossom with beauty.

Woman, you are a wonder! Own it, love it, honor it, feel wonderful because of it, walk in beauty because of it, shine brighter because of it. ~ TemitOpe Ibrahim
Cherry Blossom quotes by TemitOpe Ibrahim
Drama is what I did before 'Blossom.' ~ Mayim Bialik
Cherry Blossom quotes by Mayim Bialik
You deserve so much more than hiding out in high school basements. You don't deserve to be someone's secret, Ashlyn. You deserve to be the chorus to a person's favourite song. You deserve to be the dedication in their favourite book. ~ Brittainy C. Cherry
Cherry Blossom quotes by Brittainy C. Cherry
From the ashes, they rose, And burned once again. He never forgot her glow, And she never forgot him. ~ Brittainy C. Cherry
Cherry Blossom quotes by Brittainy C. Cherry
I kissed her again, slow and soft. Poppy's eyes remained closed afterward, then as a blush spread on her beautiful dimpled cheeks, she whispered, "A forever kiss with my Rune … in our blossom grove … when he finally came home."
She smiled.
I smiled.
Then she added, "… and my heart almost burst. ~ Tillie Cole
Cherry Blossom quotes by Tillie Cole
The within is ceaselessly becoming the without. From the state of a man's heart doth proceed the conditions of his life; his thoughts blossom into deeds, and his deeds bear the fruitage of character and destiny. ~ James Allen
Cherry Blossom quotes by James Allen
Lotus flowers blossom while rooted in mud, a reminder that beauty and grace can rise above something ugly. ~ Lisa Genova
Cherry Blossom quotes by Lisa Genova
UNDERSTANDING makes LOVE to NOURISH, BLOSSOM like a flower in the morning summer day. ~ Bonakala Bsac
Cherry Blossom quotes by Bonakala Bsac
As frost to the bud, and blight to the blossom, even such is self-interest to friendship; for confidence cannot dwell where selfishness is porter at the gate. ~ Martin Farquhar Tupper
Cherry Blossom quotes by Martin Farquhar Tupper
When I was going to school, I just wanted to be like everybody else. I would pull at my hair to try and get it to lie straight. America was where I would consume and absorb black culture, buy Ultra Sheen and watch 'Soul Train,' but I still had that weird in-between thing. ~ Neneh Cherry
Cherry Blossom quotes by Neneh Cherry
Sex is like the cherry on the top of a sundae, but you need to make the sundae first, if you get my drift. ~ Zane
Cherry Blossom quotes by Zane
Milton, Madam, was a genius that could cut a Colossus from a rock; but could not carve heads upon cherry-stones. ~ Samuel Johnson
Cherry Blossom quotes by Samuel Johnson
Bright reds - scarlet, pillar-box red, crimson or cherry - are very cheerful and youthful. There is certainly a red for everyone. ~ Christian Dior
Cherry Blossom quotes by Christian Dior
In the daylight, we'll figure things out. In the darkness, we'll just hold on to one another. ~ Brittainy C. Cherry
Cherry Blossom quotes by Brittainy C. Cherry
He's British. He's addicted to waving his long stick around. He has a superb sweater collection. ~ Brittainy C. Cherry
Cherry Blossom quotes by Brittainy C. Cherry
A Boat is to Sail,
So it leaves a glittery trail..
The Sun is to Shine,
So with rays hopes it aligns..
The Rains are to Pour,
Causing a Tease,
Innocent droplets on Face,
Moment to seize.
The Mountains stand tall,
So to watch the sky a little close,
Top when you go,
Breeze with it, brings a Rose.
The flowers blossom,
To view and say "Awesome"
Nature you Nature..
In ways my Heart you stirr. ~ Somya Kedia
Cherry Blossom quotes by Somya Kedia
My mom was the best mom in the world. Except for when she wasn't. I hated her the same way I loved her: deeply. ~ Brittainy C. Cherry
