“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”

“My old grandmother always used to say, Summer friends will melt away like summer snows, but winter friends are friends forever.”
