"Autumn begins with a subtle change in the light, with skies a deeper blue, and nights that become suddenly clear and chilled. The season comes full with the first frost, the disappearance of migrant birds, and the harvesting of the season's last crops." -Glenn Wolff and Jerry Dennis

"Summer is already better, but the best is autumn. It is mature, reasonable and serious, it glows moderately and not frivolously...It cools down, clears up, makes you reasonable..."-Valentin

"Autumn is the eternal corrective. It is ripeness and color and a time of maturity; but it is also breadth, and depth, and distance. What man can stand with autumn on a hilltop and fail to see the span of his world and the meaning of the rolling hills that reach to the far horizon?" - Hal Borland

"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree." -Emily Bronte

"Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn."-Elizabeth Lawrence

"No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face."-John Donne
