Happy Fall Everyone!
In light of yesterday being the Autumn equinox and therefore the start of my favorite season of the year, I’ve gathered some of my favorite quotes about fall to share with you all! *Pumpkin spice lattes and cozy scarves are optional but encouraged while reading this post.*
“Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.” – Lauren Destefano
“Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.” ― Jim Bishop
“It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.” ― Sarah Addison Allen, First Frost
“Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald
“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” – L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
“Autumn… the year’s last, loveliest smile.” – William Cullen Bryant
“How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.” – John Burroughs
“I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.”- Henry David Thoreau
“Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.” – Stanley Horowitz
“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” – Albert Camus
“Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love – that makes life and nature harmonise. The birds are consulting about their migrations, the trees are putting on the hectic or the pallid hues of decay, and begin to strew the ground, that one’s very footsteps may not disturb the repose of earth and air, while they give us a scent that is a perfect anodyne to the restless spirit. Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.” [Letter to Miss Lewis, Oct. 1, 1841]― George Eliot, George Eliot’s Life, as Related in Her Letters and Journals, Vol. 1
“Aprils have never meant much to me, autumns seem that season of beginning, spring.” – Truman Capote

“Autumn leaves are falling, filling up the streets; golden colors on the lawn, nature’s trick or treat!” – Rusty Fischer
“Steam rising underneath a canopy of whispering, changing aspens; starlight in the clear, dark night, and wondrous beauty in every direction. If only all could feel this way, to be so captured and enthralled with autumn.” – Donna Lynn Hope
“I see the turning of a leaf dancing in an autumn sun, and brilliant shades of crimson glowing when the day is done.” – Hazelmarie Mattie Elliott
“Listen! The wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves,
We have had our summer evenings, now for October eves!” ― Humbert Wolfe
“Autumn is as joyful and sweet as an untimely end.” ― Rémy de Gourmont
“October proved a riot to the senses and climaxed those giddy last weeks before Halloween.” ― Keith Donohue
“There is something incredibly nostalgic and significant about the annual cascade of autumn leaves.” ― Joe L. Wheeler
