Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or violets:
“You mustn’t give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get. Until they’re strong enough to run into the woods or fly into a tree. And then to a higher tree. And then to the sky.”
—George Axelrod (b. 1922)
“When daisies pied and violets blue,
And lady-smocks, all silver-white,
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
Do paint the meadows with delight,
The cuckoo then on every tree
Mocks married men, for thus sings he:
Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo—O word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
