I’m kicking off my favorite season by sharing some seasonal quotes. I hope these set the mood for the next few months and provide you with some inspiration to enjoy the fall foliage, go apple picking, or snuggle up with some tea and your favorite book!
“The tints of autumn…a mighty flower garden blossoming under the spell of the enchanter, frost.” ― John Greenleaf Whittier
“Notice that autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
“A moral character is attached to autumnal scenes; the leaves falling like our years, the flowers fading like our hours, the clouds fleeting like our illusions, the light diminishing like our intelligence, the sun growing colder like our affections, the rivers becoming frozen like our lives–all bear secret relations to our destinies.” ― François-René de Chateaubriand, Mémoires d’Outre-Tombe
“Pies mean Thanksgiving and Christmas and picnics.” ― Janet Clarkson, Pie: A Global History
“I can smell autumn dancing in the breeze. The sweet chill of pumpkin, and crisp sunburnt leaves.” – Ann Drake

“Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.” – Emily Brontë
“October, baptize me with leaves! Swaddle me in corduroy and nurse me with split pea soup. October, tuck tiny candy bars in my pockets and carve my smile into a thousand pumpkins. O autumn! O teakettle! O grace!” ― Rainbow Rowell, Attachments
“Wild is the music of the autumnal winds amongst the faded woods.” – William Wordsworth
“There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been.” – Percy Bysshe Shelley
