„Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;Conspiring with him how to load and blessWith fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run“

— John Keats

„A horse at the end of the race…A dog when the hunt is over…A bee with its honey stored…And a human being after helping others. They don't make a fuss about it. They just go on to something else, as the vine looks forward to bearing fruit again in season. We should be like that. Acting almost unconsciously.“
— Marcus Aurelius
„For that mist may break when the sun is highAnd this soul forget its sorrowAnd the rose ray of the closing dayMay promise a brighter morrow.“
— Emily Brontë
„Come let us mock at the wise;With all those calendars whereonThey fixed old aching eyes,They never saw how seasons run,And now but gape at the sun.“
— W.B. Yeats
„Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand. Anyone may gather it and no limit is set. Everyone can reach this love through meditation, spirit of prayer, and sacrifice, by an intense inner life.“
— Matka Tereza
„Beside the staff of life,taken and fashioned from the heavy earth,beside our marriage, work, and warthe free man, too, will live and grow towards the sun.Not the ripe fruit alone —blossom is lovely, too.Does blossom only serve the fruit,or does fruit only serve the blossom —who knows?But both are given to us.“
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
