Fall has some of the best colors of all the seasons … and some of the best quotes!
Here are my favorite fall quotes:
“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
“My favorite color is October.” Unknown
“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” Albert Camus
“It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon,” Sarah Addison Allen, First Frost
“Every leaf speaks bliss to me / Fluttering from the autumn tree.” Emily Brontë, Poem “Fall, Leaves, Fall”
“Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.” Jim Bishop
“Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting, and autumn a mosaic of them all.” Stanley Horowitz
“I loved autumn, the one season of the year that God seemed to have put there just for the beauty of it,” Lee Maynard, Crum.
“Autumn… the year’s last, loveliest smile.” John Howard Bryant, Poem “The Indian Summer”
“Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn,” Elizabeth Lawrence, A Southern Garden
“See it, smell it, taste, it, and forget the time of day or year. Autumn needs no clock or calendar,” Hal Borland, Homeland.
“It was a beautiful bright autumn day, with air like cider and a sky so blue you could drown in it.” Diana Gabaldon, Outlander.
“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,” George Eliot
“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, Wither
“The morning of the first September was crisp and golden as an apple,” J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
“Give me juicy autumnal fruit, ripe and red from the orchard,” Walt Whitman, Poem “Give Me the Splendid Silent Sun”
“No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face,” John Donne, “The Autumnal” Poem
“I can smell autumn dancing in the breeze. The sweet chill of pumpkin and crisp sunburnt leaves.” Unknown
“Use what you have, use what the world gives you. Use the first day of fall: bright flame before winter’s deadness; harvest; orange, gold, amber; cool nights and the smell of fire. Our tree-lined streets are set ablaze, our kitchens filled with the smells of nostalgia: apples bubbling into sauce, roasting squash, cinnamon, nutmeg, cider, warmth itself. The leaves as they spark into wild color just before they die are the world’s oldest performance art, and everything we see is celebrating one last violently hued hurrah before the black and white silence of winter.” Shauna Niequist, Bittersweet: Thoughts on Change, Grace, and Learning the Hard Way
“Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits.” Samuel Butler
“The tints of autumn…a mighty flower garden blossoming under the spell of the enchanter, frost.” John Greenleaf Whittier
“Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.” F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
“October, the extravagant sister, has ordered an immense amount of the most gorgeous forest tapestry for her grand reception.” Oliver Wendell Holmes Poem “Autumn”
“I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.” Henry David Thoreau
“Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.” Nora Ephron
“Spring passes and one remembers one’s innocence.
Summer passes and one remembers one’s exuberance.
Autumn passes and one remembers one’s reverence.
Winter passes and one remembers one’s perseverance.”
Yoko Ono
“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
“October is a symphony of permanence and change.” Bonaro W. Overstreet
“How beautifully leaves grow old! How full of light and color are their last days!” John Burroughs
Anyone who thinks fallen leaves are dead has never watched them dancing on a windy day. Shira Tamir
“Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go.” Unknown
