Buds Quotes

Small beginnings, quietly stated.

These buds quotes move between flower buds about to open and the more playful sense of taste buds, using the word to suggest something new or unformed. One line even stretches it toward the buds of xenophobia. For more quiet imagery, see our Sustain quotes.

The February sunshine steeps your boughs and tints the buds and swells the leaves within.
