“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees—just as things grow in fast movies—I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“In fact, there's nothing that keeps its youth, So far as I know, but a tree and truth.” Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table

“Love is like a tree; it sprouts forth of itself, sends its roots out deeply through our whole being, and often continues to flourish greenly over a heart in ruins.” Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
