"The gloomy months of November, when the people of England hang and drown themselves."
- Joseph Addison

"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

"Autumn is marching on: even the scarecrows are wearing dead leaves."
- Otsuyu Nakagawa

"I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it,
the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show."
- Andrew Wyeth

The mite which November contributes becomes equal in value to the bounty of July."
- Henry David Thoreau

"Was it the ghost of autumn in that smell
Of underground, or God's blank heart grown kind,
That sent a happy dream to him in hell?"
- Siegfried Sasson, Break of Day, 1918
