Winter

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

There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you...In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself. - Ruth Stout

Let us love winter for it is the spring of genius - Pietro Aretino

Winter came to our home one night

Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow,

And we, we were children once again - Bill Morgan Jr.

The color of springtime is in the flowers, the color of winter is in the imagination - Terri Guillemets

Summer pleasures they are gone like to visions every one

And cloudy days of autumn and of winter cometh on - Shakespeare 

None of you will bid the winter come

To thrust his icy fingers in my maw - Shakespeare (King John)

In winter's tedious nights sit by the fire

With good old folks, and let them tell thee tales

Of woeful ages, long ago betid - Shakespeare (Richard III)

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

One kind word can warm three winter months - Japanese proverb

On Linden, when the sun was low

all bloodless lay the untrodden snow

And dark as winter was the flow

Of iser, rolling rapidly

- Thomas Campbell

Winter is coming - House Stark
