Quote by William Shakespeare

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May.

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May.

Summary

This quote from William Shakespeare's sonnet refers to the unpredictable and harsh nature of the winds in May, a typically refreshing and blooming month. The "darling buds" symbolize the vulnerable and delicate beauty of youth and new life. Just as the winds have the power to shake and damage the buds, life's challenges and hardships can disrupt and impact the innocence and happiness of youth. Despite this, the quote also suggests that adversity is an inherent part of life, emphasizing the transient nature of beauty and the need to endure and adapt to challenges.

The distinguishing part of our Constitution is its liberty. To preserve that liberty inviolate seems the particular duty and proper trust of a member of the House of Commons. But the liberty, the only liberty, I mean is a liberty connected with order: that not only exists along with order and virtue, but which cannot exist at all without them. It inheres in good and steady government, as in its substance and vital principle.

I love the word 'fantasy'... but I love it for the almost infinite room it gives an author to play: an infinite playroom, of a sort, in which the only boundaries are those of the imagination. I do not love it for the idea of commercial fantasy. Commercial fantasy, for good or for ill, tends to drag itself through already existing furrows, furrows dug by J. R. R. Tolkien or Robert E. Howard, leaving a world of stories behind it, excluding so much. There was so much fine fiction, fiction allowing free reign to the imagination of the author, beyond the shelves of genre. That was what we wanted to read.
