Promises that you make to yourself are often like the Japanese plum tree - they bear no fruit. - Francis Marion
What is more mortifying than to feel that you have missed the plum for want of courage to shake the tree? - Logan Pearsall Smith
America, the plum blossoms are falling. - Allen Ginsberg
Today, I went to sleep under a plum tree. There, I dreamed I was a butterfly, flying so pleasently. Then, I fell asleep, and the dream ended. Now- I have to ask myself - am I Zhuang Zi who dreamed of a butterfly? Or am I that butterfly, dreaming I am Zhuang Zi? - Zhuangzi
