It’s not the winter that bothers me – it’s the summers.
Walt Alston

Victor Hugo

It’s called Sisters of the Winter Madrigal.It was interesting for me to see it done after so many years; because I wrote it and I didn’t realize what a rage I was in.

Long stormy spring-time, wet contentious April, winter chilling the lap of very May; but at length the season of summer does come.
Thomas Carlyle

Many human beings say that they enjoy the winter, but what they really enjoy is feeling proof against it.
Richard Adams

My children, as long as you live, the shadow of the Hiss Case will brush you. In every pair of eyes that rests on you, you will see pass, like a cloud passing behind a woods in winter, the memory of your father – dissembled in friendly eyes, lurking in unfriendly eyes.
Whittaker Chambers

When I came there I found all my family gone, for the Indians had killed five people in the winter near that place, which frightened my wife and family away to Roanoke about 35 miles nearer in among the inhabitants, which I was informed of by an old man I met near the place.
Christopher Gist

When I grew up there wasn’t air-conditioning or anything of that nature, and this old car had a wall thickness of about ten inches. So we had a little warmer house in the winter and a little cooler in the summer.
Merle Haggard

While I relish our warm months, winter forms our character and brings out our best.
Tom Allen

Winter in Maine is a time of alternating rest and frenzied activity.
Tom Allen

Winter is nature’s way of saying, “Up yours.”
Robert Byrne

Winter is not a season, it’s an occupation.
Sinclair Lewis

Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and shabby, old and sullen.
Willa Cather

Winter lingered so long in the lap of Spring that it occasioned a great deal of talk.
Bill Nye

Winter makes a bridge between one year and another and, in this case, one century and the next.
Andy Goldsworthy

Winter testing is essential but there comes a point where you have had enough of all the rehearsals and the pretend racing. You just want to get down to the real action.
Damon Hill

You can’t get too much winter in the winter.
Robert Frost

I write probably 80 percent of my stuff over the winter.
Bob Seger

I’d studied dance in Chicago every summer end taught it all winter, and I was well-rounded. I wasn’t worried about getting a job on Broadway. In fact, I got one the first week.
Gene Kelly

I think it was lucky that during most of the work on the Odyssey I lived on Homer’s sea in houses that were, in one case, shaken by the impact of the Mediterranean winter storms on the rocks below.
Robert Fitzgerald

I think winter wear is communal. You get some gloves and a scarf from a lost-and-found box, wash them, wear them for a while until you lose them. Then somebody else does the same thing.
Adrian Grenier

Although farming of any sort was almost as impossible in the plains as in the dry regions of winter rains farther west, the abundance of buffaloes made life much easier in many respects.
Ellsworth Huntington

An Indian’s dress of deer skins, which is wet a hundred times upon his back, dries soft; and his lodge also, which stands in the rains, and even through the severity of winter, is taken down as soft and as clean as when it was first put up.
George Catlin

And finally Winter, with its bitin’, whinin’ wind, and all the land will be mantled with snow.
Roy Bean

And some places you been before are so great that you don’t ever mind going back. Some places you been before you don’t ever want to go back, you know, like Montreal in the Winter.
Morgan Freeman

As many as three million people are expected to attend the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia. The security concerns and economic opportunities are great for both Canada and Washington state.
Rick Larsen

As sure as the spring will follow the winter, prosperity and economic growth will follow recession.
Bo Bennett

As the winter set in with its customary Canadian severity the real trouble of the French began. They did not suffer from the cold, but they were dying of scurvy.
Harry Johnston

As winter strips the leaves from around us, so that we may see the distant regions they formerly concealed, so old age takes away our enjoyments only to enlarge the prospect of the coming eternity.
Jean Paul

As winter weather settles in around the country, millions of American families are facing skyrocketing home heating prices with even greater impact if cold temperatures persist into the spring.
Russ Carnahan

Autumn arrives in early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day.
Elizabeth Bowen

Bill Mitchell said he really liked it. But when he asked the other four their opinions, we all took one look at ourselves in our raggedy long winter coats and cracked up. We knew we weren’t likely to tempt anyone or anything, but what the hell, it was as good a name as any.
Otis Williams

But I do feel a little teeny right now that I’m just about ready to start, and winter is entering. Half past autumn has arrived.
Gordon Parks

But I plan on dedicating specific training to track this winter for the next racing season.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar

By the winter of 1945-1946, the Russian peoples were being warned of the dangers from the West.
Carroll Quigley

Cruel and cold is the judgment of man, Cruel as winter, and cold as the snow; But by-and-by will the deed and the plan Be judged by the motive that lieth below.
Lewis J. Bates

It was a perfect part for me. We were absolutely freezing. It was shot in the winter in the north of England. There were lots of girls in it with me. We all did the full frontal.
Lesley-Anne Down

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.
Charles Dickens

Digital Chocolate has 60% of its developers in Finland where the sun never sets in the summer and there is nothing to do outside in the winter, so we are very productive!
Trip Hawkins

During the fall and winter we built Fort Meade and the town of Sturgis.
Calamity Jane

During the winter my attention was attracted to the changes in the stars and planets in the sky.
Paul Nurse

Adventure Bay is a convenient and safe place for any number of ships to take in wood and water during the summer months: but in the winter, when the southerly winds are strong, the surf, on all parts of the shore, makes the landing exceedingly troublesome.
William Bligh

All this time I lived with my parents, and wrought on the plantation; and having had schooling pretty well for a planter, I used to improve myself in winter evenings, and other leisure times.
John Woolman

During the winter when the weather is too poor to work outside, I do use drawings and photographs, but I change my work so it is not just a time and place study.
John Dyer

Even in winter an isolated patch of snow has a special quality.
Andy Goldsworthy

For the first time in 15 years, Georgia this winter has its electric power guaranteed without deficit. This is a historic achievement.
Mikhail Saakashvili

For those of you who don’t understand Reaganomics, it’s based on the principle that the rich and the poor will get the same amount of ice. In Reaganomics, however, the poor get all of theirs in winter.
Mo Udall

From the bitter cold winter at Valley Forge, to the mountains of Afghanistan and the deserts of Iraq, our soldiers have courageously answered when called, gone where ordered, and defended our nation with honor.
Solomon Ortiz

God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, surfeit and hunger.
Heraclitus

He thinks with regret of the great days when he could at harvest time at least go down into Hungary and work on the big estates and bring back, as his wage, a side of bacon for the winter. That was wealth, to him.
Douglas Reed

I enjoy the cleaning up – something about the getting of things in order for winter – making the garden secure – a battening down of hatches perhaps… It just feels right.
David Hobson

I grew up in New Hampshire. My closest neighbor was a mile away. The deer and the raccoons were my friends. So I would spend time walking through the woods, looking for the most beautiful tropical thing that can survive the winter in the woods in New Hampshire.
Steven Tyler

I had slumps that lasted into the winter.
Bob Uecker

I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer.
Brendan Behan

I have always had strong maternal instincts. Even when I was still a child I cut out pictures of prams from newspapers and imagined the feeling of pushing my own pram through fresh winter snow and seeing the wheels’ tracks behind me in the snow.
Agnetha Faltskog

I have commenced my auspicious reign and am in quiet possession of the Presidential Mansion… this winter I intend to do something in the way of entertaining that shall be the admiration and talk of all Washington world.
Julia Gardiner Tyler

I have never seen snow and do not know what winter means.
Duke Kahanamoku

I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn’t show.
Andrew Wyeth

I remember one winter, when I was about five or six, I spent three days with another boy, tracking a bobcat that had been sighted in another county fifty miles away, but which I was sure had come into our neighborhood.
Terry Brooks

I toured Ontario in the winter of ‘48, in a touring company of The Drunkard, in which I played the bartender.
Jonathan Frid

We played all of the songs on the first Johnny Winter AND every day before we recorded them, so that when we got in the studio, it was totally easy, as we knew exactly what we wanted to do.
Rick Derringer

We were just covered in dirt the whole time. It was so hot – and that was in winter. I can not imagine what it’s like in summer and how the people who actually live out there survive.
Toni Collette

What, I sometimes wonder, would it be like if I lived in a country where winter is a matter of a few chilly days and a few weeks’ rain; where the sun is never far away, and the flowers bloom all year long?
Anna Neagle

I was raised in California, so this whole New York winter thing is completely new for me. I’ve already justified buying seven coats!
Blake Lively

I’m working seven days a week in the fall. I couldn’t possibly keep that up. This is only for the fall. In the last couple of years I’ve tended to do most of my serious writing in the winter, when there’s nothing going on with football.
Gregg Easterbrook

But Dr. Smith says, and I believe it to be a true state of the case, that he himself gave a course of Lectures in Natural Philosophy, during the same winter, and that the money raised by them was also applied towards paying for the Orrery.
David Rittenhouse

If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter.
Bob Uecker

If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
Percy Bysshe Shelley

If you or me go to the gas station to fill up our car and it costs us much more than we expected, it will zap our discretionary income. We won’t have the extra money to buy that washing machine or new winter coat-all big ticket items that are important to economic growth.
Maria Bartiromo

In 2002 the Yamaha was at more or less the same level as the Honda, better in some ways, worse in others. But in the winter of last year between 2002 and 2003, Honda made a big step forward and it seemed as if Yamaha couldn’t quite match that improvement.
Valentino Rossi

In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.
William Blake

In summer winter rain or sun, it’s good to be on horseback.
Mike Oldfield

In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.

In the immediate aftermath of the hurricane, I sent a letter to EPA Administrator Stephen L Johnson urging him to waive regulations to allow for the early sale of winter grade fuel to help with gasoline shortages and gasoline prices.
Bob Ney

In the long winter evenings he talked to Ma about the Western country. In the West the land was level, and there were no trees. The grass grew thick and high.
Laura Ingalls Wilder

In this part of the world, only Maine gives winter the welcome and the worship it should have.
Tom Allen

It’s called Sisters of the Winter Madrigal. It was interesting for me to see it done after so many years; because I wrote it and I didn’t realize what a rage I was in.
Beth Henley

Walt Alston

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.

Thomas Carlyle

Many human beings say that they enjoy the winter, but what they really enjoy is feeling proof against it.
Richard Adams

My children, as long as you live, the shadow of the Hiss Case will brush you. In every pair of eyes that rests on you, you will see pass, like a cloud passing behind a woods in winter, the memory of your father – dissembled in friendly eyes, lurking in unfriendly eyes.
Whittaker Chambers

My door was open part of the time, and part of the time I tried to get a nap and their voices annoyed me, and I closed it. I kept it open in summer more or less, and closed in winter.
Lizzie Andrew Borden

Never take a job where winter winds can blow up your pants.
Geraldo Rivera

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.

Nothing is as easy to make as a promise this winter to do something next summer; this is how commencement speakers are caught.
Sydney J. Harris

Now is the winter of our discontent.
William Shakespeare

O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Of course, the outcome of the war would not have been changed. The war was lost perhaps, when it was started. At least it was lost in the winter of ‘42, in Russia.
Adolf Galland

Once upon a time there was a piece of wood. It was not an expensive piece of wood. Far from it. Just a common block of firewood, one of those thick, solid logs that are put on the fire in winter to make cold rooms cozy and warm.
Carlo Collodi

Our journey so far has been very satisfactory: we are most fortunate as regards the season, for there has been more rain this winter than has been known for the last four or five years.

Passover and Easter are the only Jewish and Christian holidays that move in sync, like the ice skating pairs we saw during the winter Olympics.
Marvin Olasky

People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.
Rogers Hornsby

People don’t notice whether it’s winter or summer when they’re happy.
Anton Chekhov

Remember the rights of the savage, as we call him. Remember that the happiness of his humble home, remember that the sanctity of life in the hill villages of Afghanistan, among the winter snows, is as inviolable in the eye of Almighty God, as can be your own.
William E. Gladstone

Storage is important. Whether it’s cushions you only use outside in the summer, or blankets that only come out in the winter, you’ve always got to think of where to store them.
Anthea Turner

That got me thinking. Bon Jovi kills in Jersey. Just kills. We did Atlantic City this past winter and man, you wouldn’t believe the intensity in that crowd. Can I just talk for a minute about how amazingly hot Heather is?
Richie Sambora

That last winter was a tragic story and I got no personal honour out of it but I was a witness to it.
Laurie Lee

The bottom line is, winter navigation on the Seaway is a bad idea.
John M. McHugh

The heavy spacesuits are spectacular to look at but very hot. Putting one on was like going from chilly London winter weather to the Bahamas in just minutes.
Kathleen Quinlan

The nice thing about New York is that you’re finally able to wear those winter clothes that have been sitting in your closet in mothballs.
Kyle MacLachlan

The pine stays green in winter… wisdom in hardship.
Norman Douglas

The problem with winter sports is that – follow me closely here – they generally take place in winter.
Dave Barry

The Progressive Blues Experiment, Johnny Winter… and Still Alive and Well is my favorite rock record.
Johnny Winter

The restaurants close here in Salzburg. They don’t really have a nightlife in the winter time.
Cecilia Bartoli

The warrior may fight for gold or for an immediate gain, or for something to take home for the winter to feed the family. The soldier is part of a more complex society. He’s fighting for a group ethic of some sort.
C. J. Cherryh

Johnny Winter is one of the best blues players in the world. He’s very underrated.
Ritchie Blackmore

Last winter when I was coming home from church one Thursday evening, I saw somebody run around the house again. I told my father of that.

The work that we do during the winter is very important; we have a new bike and it’s important to develop it during this time, and we start with this test.
Valentino Rossi

There are only two seasons – winter and Baseball.
Bill Veeck

There are three reasons for becoming a writer: the first is that you need the money; the second that you have something to say that you think the world should know; the third is that you can’t think what to do with the long winter evenings.
Quentin Crisp

There are two seasons in Scotland: June and Winter.
Billy Connolly

There is no pressure on me, I can take a lot of risks in the coming weeks. I feel free to ski the way I decide on race-day because the overall title was not my main target this winter.
Hermann Maier

They urged me to take up winter quarters at the forks of the Platt, stating that if I attempted to advance further until spring, I would endanger the lives of my whole party.
William Henry Ashley

Thou hast no sorrow in thy song, no winter in thy year.
John A. Logan

Thus, during the winter of 2003 I ventured into a new arena as a professional photographer.
Janine Turner

We are all treading the vanishing road of a song in the air, the vanishing road of the spring flowers and the winter snows, the vanishing roads of the winds and the streams, the vanishing road of beloved faces.
Richard Le Gallienne

We are the last remaining country to allow ourselves two breaks in the season. You just have to look at England, Italy and Spain, they play right through the season. We on the other hand take six weeks off in the winter until the end of January, and that is a luxury.
Franz Beckenbauer

We cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away.
Zhuangzi

We live in the country, and I have a huge library there. When we go to London for the winter I never know which books to take. I never know what I am going to need. That’s the only disadvantage.
Mordecai Richler

We need society, and we need solitude also, as we need summer and winter, day and night, exercise and rest.
Philip Gilbert Hamerton

We need to drive like hell and get to the hills before the winter sets in.
Steven Squyres

You know, at 35 or at 38 or 40 you really start to see what your body could look like if you just don’t do anything all winter long. So that’s another motivating factor, our vanity.
Stone Gossard

You may depend on it that the bunting, emberiza miliaria, does not leave this country in the winter.
Gilbert White

Our journey so far has been very satisfactory: we are most fortunate as regards the season, for there has been more rain this winter than has been known for the last four or five years.
William John Wills

Passover and Easter are the only Jewish and Christian holidays that move in sync, like the ice skating pairs we saw during the winter Olympics.
Marvin Olasky

People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.
Rogers Hornsby

People don’t notice whether it’s winter or summer when they’re happy.
Anton Chekhov

Remember the rights of the savage, as we call him. Remember that the happiness of his humble home, remember that the sanctity of life in the hill villages of Afghanistan, among the winter snows, is as inviolable in the eye of Almighty God, as can be your own.
William E. Gladstone

Storage is important. Whether it’s cushions you only use outside in the summer, or blankets that only come out in the winter, you’ve always got to think of where to store them.
Anthea Turner

That got me thinking. Bon Jovi kills in Jersey. Just kills. We did Atlantic City this past winter and man, you wouldn’t believe the intensity in that crowd. Can I just talk for a minute about how amazingly hot Heather is?
Richie Sambora

That last winter was a tragic story and I got no personal honour out of it but I was a witness to it.
Laurie Lee

The bottom line is, winter navigation on the Seaway is a bad idea.
John M. McHugh

The heavy spacesuits are spectacular to look at but very hot. Putting one on was like going from chilly London winter weather to the Bahamas in just minutes.
Kathleen Quinlan

The nice thing about New York is that you’re finally able to wear those winter clothes that have been sitting in your closet in mothballs.
Kyle MacLachlan

The pine stays green in winter… wisdom in hardship.
Norman Douglas

The problem with winter sports is that – follow me closely here – they generally take place in winter.
Dave Barry

The Progressive Blues Experiment, Johnny Winter… and Still Alive and Well is my favorite rock record.
Johnny Winter

The restaurants close here in Salzburg. They don’t really have a nightlife in the winter time.
Cecilia Bartoli

The warrior may fight for gold or for an immediate gain, or for something to take home for the winter to feed the family. The soldier is part of a more complex society. He’s fighting for a group ethic of some sort.
C. J. Cherryh

Johnny Winter is one of the best blues players in the world. He’s very underrated.
Ritchie Blackmore

Last winter when I was coming home from church one Thursday evening, I saw somebody run around the house again. I told my father of that.
Lizzie Andrew Borden

The work that we do during the winter is very important; we have a new bike and it’s important to develop it during this time, and we start with this test.
Valentino Rossi

There are only two seasons – winter and Baseball.
Bill Veeck

There are three reasons for becoming a writer: the first is that you need the money; the second that you have something to say that you think the world should know; the third is that you can’t think what to do with the long winter evenings.
Quentin Crisp

There are two seasons in Scotland: June and Winter.
Billy Connolly

There is no pressure on me, I can take a lot of risks in the coming weeks. I feel free to ski the way I decide on race-day because the overall title was not my main target this winter.
Hermann Maier

They urged me to take up winter quarters at the forks of the Platt, stating that if I attempted to advance further until spring, I would endanger the lives of my whole party.
William Henry Ashley

Thou hast no sorrow in thy song, no winter in thy year.
John A. Logan

Thus, during the winter of 2003 I ventured into a new arena as a professional photographer.
Janine Turner

We are all treading the vanishing road of a song in the air, the vanishing road of the spring flowers and the winter snows, the vanishing roads of the winds and the streams, the vanishing road of beloved faces.
Richard Le Gallienne

We are the last remaining country to allow ourselves two breaks in the season. You just have to look at England, Italy and Spain, they play right through the season. We on the other hand take six weeks off in the winter until the end of January, and that is a luxury.
Franz Beckenbauer

We cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away.
Zhuangzi

We live in the country, and I have a huge library there. When we go to London for the winter I never know which books to take. I never know what I am going to need. That’s the only disadvantage.
Mordecai Richler

We need society, and we need solitude also, as we need summer and winter, day and night, exercise and rest.
Philip Gilbert Hamerton

We need to drive like hell and get to the hills before the winter sets in.
Steven Squyres

You know, at 35 or at 38 or 40 you really start to see what your body could look like if you just don’t do anything all winter long. So that’s another motivating factor, our vanity.
Stone Gossard

You may depend on it that the bunting, emberiza miliaria, does not leave this country in the winter.
Gilbert White

When I came there I found all my family gone, for the Indians had killed five people in the winter near that place, which frightened my wife and family away to Roanoke about 35 miles nearer in among the inhabitants, which I was informed of by an old man I met near the place.
Christopher Gist

When I grew up there wasn’t air-conditioning or anything of that nature, and this old car had a wall thickness of about ten inches. So we had a little warmer house in the winter and a little cooler in the summer.
Merle Haggard

While I relish our warm months, winter forms our character and brings out our best.
Tom Allen

Winter in Maine is a time of alternating rest and frenzied activity.
Tom Allen

Winter is nature’s way of saying, “Up yours.”
Robert Byrne

Winter is not a season, it’s an occupation.
Sinclair Lewis

Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and shabby, old and sullen.
Willa Cather

Winter lingered so long in the lap of Spring that it occasioned a great deal of talk.
Bill Nye

Winter makes a bridge between one year and another and, in this case, one century and the next.
Andy Goldsworthy

Winter testing is essential but there comes a point where you have had enough of all the rehearsals and the pretend racing. You just want to get down to the real action.
Damon Hill

You can’t get too much winter in the winter.
Robert Frost

I write probably 80 percent of my stuff over the winter.
Bob Seger

I’d studied dance in Chicago every summer end taught it all winter, and I was well-rounded. I wasn’t worried about getting a job on Broadway. In fact, I got one the first week.
Gene Kelly

I remember, in the winter of our first experiments, just seven years ago, looking on snow with new eyes.
Edward M. Purcell

I remember, in the winter of our first experiments, just seven years ago, looking on snow with new eyes.
Edward M. Purcell

I think it was lucky that during most of the work on the Odyssey I lived on Homer’s sea in houses that were, in one case, shaken by the impact of the Mediterranean winter storms on the rocks below.
Robert Fitzgerald

I think winter wear is communal. You get some gloves and a scarf from a lost-and-found box, wash them, wear them for a while until you lose them. Then somebody else does the same thing.
Adrian Grenier

Although farming of any sort was almost as impossible in the plains as in the dry regions of winter rains farther west, the abundance of buffaloes made life much easier in many respects.
Ellsworth Huntington

An Indian’s dress of deer skins, which is wet a hundred times upon his back, dries soft; and his lodge also, which stands in the rains, and even through the severity of winter, is taken down as soft and as clean as when it was first put up.
George Catlin

And finally Winter, with its bitin’, whinin’ wind, and all the land will be mantled with snow.
Roy Bean

And some places you been before are so great that you don’t ever mind going back. Some places you been before you don’t ever want to go back, you know, like Montreal in the Winter.
Morgan Freeman

As many as three million people are expected to attend the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia. The security concerns and economic opportunities are great for both Canada and Washington state.
Rick Larsen

As sure as the spring will follow the winter, prosperity and economic growth will follow recession.
Bo Bennett

As the winter set in with its customary Canadian severity the real trouble of the French began. They did not suffer from the cold, but they were dying of scurvy.
Harry Johnston

As winter strips the leaves from around us, so that we may see the distant regions they formerly concealed, so old age takes away our enjoyments only to enlarge the prospect of the coming eternity.
Jean Paul

As winter weather settles in around the country, millions of American families are facing skyrocketing home heating prices with even greater impact if cold temperatures persist into the spring.
Russ Carnahan

Autumn arrives in early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day.
Elizabeth Bowen

Bill Mitchell said he really liked it. But when he asked the other four their opinions, we all took one look at ourselves in our raggedy long winter coats and cracked up. We knew we weren’t likely to tempt anyone or anything, but what the hell, it was as good a name as any.
Otis Williams

But I do feel a little teeny right now that I’m just about ready to start, and winter is entering. Half past autumn has arrived.
Gordon Parks

But I plan on dedicating specific training to track this winter for the next racing season.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar

By the winter of 1945-1946, the Russian peoples were being warned of the dangers from the West.
Carroll Quigley

Cruel and cold is the judgment of man, Cruel as winter, and cold as the snow; But by-and-by will the deed and the plan Be judged by the motive that lieth below.
Lewis J. Bates

It was a perfect part for me. We were absolutely freezing. It was shot in the winter in the north of England. There were lots of girls in it with me. We all did the full frontal.
Lesley-Anne Down

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.
Charles Dickens

Digital Chocolate has 60% of its developers in Finland where the sun never sets in the summer and there is nothing to do outside in the winter, so we are very productive!
Trip Hawkins

During the fall and winter we built Fort Meade and the town of Sturgis.
Calamity Jane

During the winter my attention was attracted to the changes in the stars and planets in the sky.
Paul Nurse

Adventure Bay is a convenient and safe place for any number of ships to take in wood and water during the summer months: but in the winter, when the southerly winds are strong, the surf, on all parts of the shore, makes the landing exceedingly troublesome.
William Bligh

All this time I lived with my parents, and wrought on the plantation; and having had schooling pretty well for a planter, I used to improve myself in winter evenings, and other leisure times.
John Woolman

During the winter when the weather is too poor to work outside, I do use drawings and photographs, but I change my work so it is not just a time and place study.
John Dyer

Even in winter an isolated patch of snow has a special quality.
Andy Goldsworthy

For the first time in 15 years, Georgia this winter has its electric power guaranteed without deficit. This is a historic achievement.
Mikhail Saakashvili

For those of you who don’t understand Reaganomics, it’s based on the principle that the rich and the poor will get the same amount of ice. In Reaganomics, however, the poor get all of theirs in winter.
Mo Udall

From the bitter cold winter at Valley Forge, to the mountains of Afghanistan and the deserts of Iraq, our soldiers have courageously answered when called, gone where ordered, and defended our nation with honor.
Solomon Ortiz

God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, surfeit and hunger.
Heraclitus

He thinks with regret of the great days when he could at harvest time at least go down into Hungary and work on the big estates and bring back, as his wage, a side of bacon for the winter. That was wealth, to him.
Douglas Reed

I enjoy the cleaning up – something about the getting of things in order for winter – making the garden secure – a battening down of hatches perhaps… It just feels right.
David Hobson

I grew up in New Hampshire. My closest neighbor was a mile away. The deer and the raccoons were my friends. So I would spend time walking through the woods, looking for the most beautiful tropical thing that can survive the winter in the woods in New Hampshire.
Steven Tyler

I had slumps that lasted into the winter.
Bob Uecker

I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer.
Brendan Behan

I have always had strong maternal instincts. Even when I was still a child I cut out pictures of prams from newspapers and imagined the feeling of pushing my own pram through fresh winter snow and seeing the wheels’ tracks behind me in the snow.
Agnetha Faltskog

I have commenced my auspicious reign and am in quiet possession of the Presidential Mansion… this winter I intend to do something in the way of entertaining that shall be the admiration and talk of all Washington world.
Julia Gardiner Tyler

I have never seen snow and do not know what winter means.
Duke Kahanamoku

I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn’t show.
Andrew Wyeth

I remember one winter, when I was about five or six, I spent three days with another boy, tracking a bobcat that had been sighted in another county fifty miles away, but which I was sure had come into our neighborhood.
Terry Brooks

I toured Ontario in the winter of ‘48, in a touring company of The Drunkard, in which I played the bartender.
Jonathan Frid

We played all of the songs on the first Johnny Winter AND every day before we recorded them, so that when we got in the studio, it was totally easy, as we knew exactly what we wanted to do.
Rick Derringer

We were just covered in dirt the whole time. It was so hot – and that was in winter. I can not imagine what it’s like in summer and how the people who actually live out there survive.
Toni Collette

What, I sometimes wonder, would it be like if I lived in a country where winter is a matter of a few chilly days and a few weeks’ rain; where the sun is never far away, and the flowers bloom all year long?
Anna Neagle

I was raised in California, so this whole New York winter thing is completely new for me. I’ve already justified buying seven coats!
Blake Lively

I’m working seven days a week in the fall. I couldn’t possibly keep that up. This is only for the fall. In the last couple of years I’ve tended to do most of my serious writing in the winter, when there’s nothing going on with football.
Gregg Easterbrook

But Dr. Smith says, and I believe it to be a true state of the case, that he himself gave a course of Lectures in Natural Philosophy, during the same winter, and that the money raised by them was also applied towards paying for the Orrery.
David Rittenhouse

If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter.
Bob Uecker

If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
Percy Bysshe Shelley

If you or me go to the gas station to fill up our car and it costs us much more than we expected, it will zap our discretionary income. We won’t have the extra money to buy that washing machine or new winter coat-all big ticket items that are important to economic growth.
Maria Bartiromo

In 2002 the Yamaha was at more or less the same level as the Honda, better in some ways, worse in others. But in the winter of last year between 2002 and 2003, Honda made a big step forward and it seemed as if Yamaha couldn’t quite match that improvement.
Valentino Rossi

In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.
William Blake

In summer winter rain or sun, it’s good to be on horseback.
Mike Oldfield

In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.
Albert Camus

In the immediate aftermath of the hurricane, I sent a letter to EPA Administrator Stephen L Johnson urging him to waive regulations to allow for the early sale of winter grade fuel to help with gasoline shortages and gasoline prices.
Bob Ney

In the long winter evenings he talked to Ma about the Western country. In the West the land was level, and there were no trees. The grass grew thick and high.
Laura Ingalls Wilder

My door was open part of the time, and part of the time I tried to get a nap and their voices annoyed me, and I closed it. I kept it open in summer more or less, and closed in winter.
Lizzie Andrew Borden

Never take a job where winter winds can blow up your pants.
Geraldo Rivera

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.
Hal Borland

Nothing is as easy to make as a promise this winter to do something next summer; this is how commencement speakers are caught.
Sydney J. Harris

Now is the winter of our discontent.
William Shakespeare

O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Of course, the outcome of the war would not have been changed. The war was lost perhaps, when it was started. At least it was lost in the winter of ‘42, in Russia.
Adolf Galland

Once upon a time there was a piece of wood. It was not an expensive piece of wood. Far from it. Just a common block of firewood, one of those thick, solid logs that are put on the fire in winter to make cold rooms cozy and warm.
Carlo Collodi

Our journey so far has been very satisfactory: we are most fortunate as regards the season, for there has been more rain this winter than has been known for the last four or five years.
William John Wills

Passover and Easter are the only Jewish and Christian holidays that move in sync, like the ice skating pairs we saw during the winter Olympics.

Rogers Hornsby

William E. Gladstone

Storage is important. Whether it’s cushions you only use outside in the summer, or blankets that only come out in the winter, you’ve always got to think of where to store them.

Richie Sambora

That last winter was a tragic story and I got no personal honour out of it but I was a witness to it.
Laurie Lee

The bottom line is, winter navigation on the Seaway is a bad idea.
John M. McHugh

The heavy spacesuits are spectacular to look at but very hot. Putting one on was like going from chilly London winter weather to the Bahamas in just minutes.

The hey-day of the year
With robes that gleam with sunny sheen
Sweet August doth appear.

I question not if thrushes sing,
If roses load the air;
Beyond my heart I need not reach
When all is summer there.

The month of leaves and roses
When pleasant sights salute the eyes,
And pleasant scents the noses.

Stranded in a sea of wheat,
Waiting for harvest.

He dies alas! how soon he dies!

It was a splendid summer morning and it seemed as if nothing could go wrong.

The children put their toys to grass
All the warm wakeful August night.

Warm southern wind, blow softly here;

Summer is a promissory note signed in June, its long days spent and gone before you know it, and
due to be repaid next January.
Hal Borland

The serene philosophy of the pink rose is steadying. Its fragrant, delicate petals open fully and are ready to fall, without regret or disillusion, after only a day in the sun. It is so every summer. One can almost hear their pink, fragrant murmur as they settle down upon the grass: ‘Summer, summer, it will always be summer.’
Rachel Peden

I walk without flinching through the burning cathedral of the summer. My bank of wild grass is majestic and full of music. It is a fire that solitude presses against my lips.

with the echoes the summer moon
begins to dawn.

jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief
that all’s right with the world.
Ada Louise Huxtable

You know, when you get your first asparagus, or your first acorn squash, or your first really good
tomato of the season, those are the moments that define the cook’s year. I get more excited by
that than anything else.
Mario Batali

I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds, and bowers
Of April, May, of June, and July-flowers.
I sing of maypoles, hock-carts, wassails, wakes,
Of bridegrooms, brides, and of their bridal cakes.

We sweat and grumble, but we go.
Ruth Pitter, 1897-1992, The Diehards, 1941

There is no season such delight can bring,
As summer, autumn, winter and the spring.

beautiful words in the English language.

do planning the rest of their lives.
Patricia Fripp

He stood beside a cottage lone
And listened to a lute,
One summer’s eve, when the breeze was gone,
And the nightingale was mute.

Has a smile of light
And she sits on a sapphire throne.
Barry Cornwall

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat,
and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Genesis 8: 22

That beautiful season the Summer!
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light;
and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.

Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting,
yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains…

Summer makes a silence after spring.
Vita Sackville-West

hot August night;
scent of crushed lantana leaves
thickens the air
Trilby, Modesto, California

There ought to be gardens for all months in the year,
in which, severally, things of beauty may be then in season.
Sir Francis Bacon

This was one of those perfect New England days in late summer where the spirit of autumn takes a
first stealing flight, like a spy, through the ripening country-side, and, with feigned sympathy for
those who droop with August heat, puts her cool cloak of bracing air about leaf and
flower and human shoulders.
Sarah Orne Jewett, The Courting of Sister Wisby, 1887

What is one to say about June, the time of perfect young summer, the fulfillment of the promise
of the earlier months, and with as yet no sign to remind one that its fresh young beauty will ever fade.
Gertrude Jekyll, On Gardening

The summer night is like a perfection of thought.
Wallace Stevens

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur
of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.
John Lubbock

So fades a summer cloud away;
So sinks the gale when storms are o’er;
So gently shuts the eye of day;
So dies a wave along the shore.
Mrs. Barbauld, 1743-1825, The Death of the Virtuous

This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a

Ellis Peters

Jane Fonda

A Poem does not grow by jerks. As trees in Spring produce a new ring of tissue, so does every poet put forth a fresh outlay of stuff at the same season.

Pee Wee Reese

So far this spring, 59 American communities have been flattened by tornadoes. Nobody has helped.

Margaret Atwood

In the Spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours.

Which through the summer is not heard or seen,
As if it could not be, as if it had not been!

Fiery colors begin their yearly conquest of the hills, propelled by the autumn winds. Fall is the artist.
Takayuki Ikkaku
