Frequently Asked Questions

What's the funniest quote about spring in this collection?
"The way to make coaches think you're in shape in the spring is to get a tan" is easily the wryest entry, poking fun at appearances over actual conditioning.
Does this collection include a historical memory tied to spring?
Yes - one quote recalls that "in the spring of 1971, a hundred thousand people converged on the Pentagon," a firsthand recollection of a real large-scale demonstration, offered here as personal historical memory rather than commentary on the underlying politics of that era.

Is spring personified anywhere in this collection?
Yes, one quote treats Spring almost like a character: "Poor, dear, silly Spring, preparing her annual surprise!" - a playful, affectionate way of describing the season's yearly return.
