„How often already you’ve had to be told,Keep cold, young orchard. Good-bye and keep cold.Dread fifty above more than fifty below.I have to be gone for a season or so.“

— Robert Frost

„No tribal rite has yet been recorded which attempts to keep winter from descending; on the contrary: the rites all prepare the community to endure, together with the rest of nature, the season of the terrible cold.“
— Joseph Campbell
„I notice that Autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature.“
— Friedrich Nietzsche
„To paint an autumn landscape I will not try to remember what colors suit this season, I will only be inspired by the sensation that the season gives me; the icy clearness of the sour blue sky will express the season just as well as the tonalities of the leaves. My sensation itself may vary, the autumn may be soft and warm like a protracted summer or quite cool with a cold sky and lemon yellow trees that give a chilly impression and announce winter.“
— Henri Matisse
