Famous quotes containing the words bud and/or stage:
“And yet no greater, but more eminent,
Love by the spring is grown;
As, in the firmament,
Stars by the sun are not enlarged, but shown,
Gentle love deeds, as blossoms on a bough,
From love’s awakened root do bud out now.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
“Self-pity in its early stage is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
