Famous quotes containing the word blooming:
“I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly you find—at the age of fifty, say—that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about.... It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you.”
—Agatha Christie (1891–1976)
“‘Tis the last rose of summer
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone;”
—Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
“‘It’s the same the whole world over;
It’s the poor that gets the blame,
It’s the rich that gets the pleasure.
Isn’t it a blooming shame?’”
—Unknown. She Was Poor but She Was Honest (l. 37–40)
