Flowers Quote by Amanda Sun

“There's a saying in Japan, and it has to do with cherry-blossom viewing: hana yori dango (Dumplings over flowers).

““There's a saying in Japan, and it has to do with cherry-blossom viewing: hana yori dango (Dumplings over flowers). It basically means that someone should value needs over wants, substance over appearance. As in, make sure you have food and shelter before you burn money on something extravagant. And, you know, choose genuine friends who will be there for you over pretty, shallow ones. Don't get carried away by beauty if it leaves you empty.””

Birdsong filled the air, horse buses clopped through…
