“When spring came, even the false spring, there were no
problems except where to be happiest. The only thing that
could spoil a day was people and if you could keep from
making engagements, each day had no limits. People were
always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that
were as good as spring itself.”
-Ernest Hemingway
