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
Dining room garden in January.
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
River Birch
Winter is the time of promise because there is so little to do -
or because you can now and then permit yourself the luxury of thinking so.
~Stanley Crawford
Of winter's lifeless world each tree
Now seems a perfect part;
Yet each one holds summer's secret
Deep down within its heart.
~Charles G. Stater
Winter is the season in which people try to keep the house as warm as it was in the summer, when they complained about the heat.
