• And some days, he went on, were days of hearing every trump and trill of the universe. Some days were good for tasting and some for touching. And some days were good for all the senses at once. This day now, he nodded, smelled as if a great and nameless orchard had grown up overnight beyond the hills to fill the entire visible land with its warm freshness. The air felt like rain, but there were no clouds.

• Say what we will, you may be sure that ambition is an error; its wear and tear of heart are never recompensed, -it steals away the freshness of life, -it deadens its vivid and social enjoyments, -it shuts our souls to our own youth, -and we are old ere we remember that we have made a fever and a labor of our raciest years.

• There are two principles inherent in the very nature of things, recurring in some particular embodiments whatever field we explore - the spirit of change, and the spirit of conservation. There can be nothing real without both. Mere change without conservation is a passage from nothing to nothing. . . . Mere conservation without change cannot conserve. For after all, there is a flux of circumstance, and the freshness of being evaporates under mere repetition.

• The proponents of Steinitz' theory - Tarrasch and his supporters - tried to express Steinitz' teaching in the form of laconic rules, and as often happens in such cases, they went too far. The laconic tended to become dogmatic, and chess began to lose its freshness, originality and charm.

• Like a piece of ice on a hot stove the poem must ride on its own melting. . . . Read it a hundred times; it will forever keep its freshness as a metal keeps its fragrance. It can never lose its sense of a meaning that once unfolded by surprise as it went.

• O for a summer noon, when light and breeze Sport on the grass, like ripples o'er a lake Alive with freshness! when the full round Sun, With the Creator's smile upon his face, Walks like a prince of glory through the path Of Heaven! - Thou vast, and ever-glorious sky, Mantling the earth with thy majestic robe.

• No man (sic) has learned to live until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. Length without breadth is like a self-contained tributary having no outward flow to the ocean. Stagnant, still and stale, it lacks both life and freshness. In order to live creatively and meaningfully, our self-concern must be wedded to other concerns.

  Martin Luther King, Jr.

• Se tomaron manzanas, y ... se cerraron con cera. ... Después de un mes de espacio, la manzana encerrada estaba tan verde y fresca como la primera vez que se puso, y los granos continuaban blancos. La causa es que toda exclusión del aire libre, que es siempre depredador, mantiene el cuerpo en su primera frescura y humedad.

• El extremo cercano de la calle era más bien oscuro y tenía sobre todo tiendas de verduras. Abundancia de verduras: montones de hinojo blanco y verde, como el apio, y grandes gavillas de alcachofas jóvenes, violáceas, del color del polvo de mar. . . largas ristras de higos secos, montañas de grandes naranjas, pimientos grandes escarlata, una gran rodaja de calabaza, una gran masa de colores y frescura vegetal. . . .

• Many of the things that bring delight should not be owned. They are more enjoyed if another's, than if yours; the first day they give pleasure to the owner, but in all the rest to the others: what belongs to another rejoices doubly, because it is without the risk of going stale and with the satisfaction of freshness. . . the possession of things not only diminishes their enjoyment, but augments their annoyance, whether shared or not shared.

• On certain mornings, as we turn a corner,
  an exquisite dew falls on our heart
  and then vanishes.
  But the freshness lingers, and this, always,
  is what the heart needs.
  The earth must have risen in just such a light
  the morning the world was born.

  Albert Camus

• The beauty of the trees, the softness of the air, the fragrance of the grass, they speak to me. The summit of the mountain, the thunder of the sky, the rhythm of the sea, speaks to me. The faintness of the stars, the freshness of the morning, the dewdrop on the flower, speaks to me. The strength of the fire, the taste of the salmon, the trail of the sun, and the life that never goes away, they speak to me. And my heart soars.

• Creo que el poder de observación en muchos niños muy pequeños es bastante maravilloso por su cercanía y precisión. De hecho, creo que la mayoría de las personas adultas que son notables en este aspecto, puede decirse con mayor propiedad que no han perdido la facultad, que la han adquirido; más bien, como generalmente observo que tales hombres conservan una cierta frescura, y gentileza, y capacidad de ser complacidos, que son también una herencia que han conservado desde su infancia.

• Poetry reveals to us the loveliness of nature, brings back the freshness of youthful feelings, reviews the relish of simple pleasures, keeps unquenched the enthusiasm which warmed the springtime of our being, refines youthful love, strengthens our interest in human mature, by vivid delineations of its tenderest and softest feelings, and through the brightness of its prophetic visions, helps faith to lay hold on the future life.

• If one might wish for impossibilities, I might then wish that my children might be well versed in physical science, but in due subordination to the fulness and freshness of their knowledge on moral subjects. ...
