“I like spring, but it is too young. I like summer, but it is too proud. So I like best of all autumn, because its tone is mellower, its colors are richer, and it is tinged with a little sorrow. Its golden richness speaks not of the innocence of spring, nor the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and its content.” – (Lin Yutang)
“And all at once summer collapsed into Fall.” – (Oscar Wilde)
“The holy days are the best times to focus on real enthusiasm, the inner source that lightens and sanctifies our lives all year.” – (Martha Beck)
“Summer has always been good to me, even the bittersweet end, with the slanted yellow light.” – (Paul Monette)
“I grew up in New York City, and I’ve got wonderful memories of the Fourth of July fireworks.” – (Jimmy Smits)
