Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. ~Albert Camus
This can't be the first Wednesday Quotes theme that was actually inspired by a quote, but I can't remember another one. Autumn really is a beautifully paradoxical season, which the quote captures. We often refer to the leaves as dying or dead, but the colors as they fall can be so vibrant. And the trees live on, of course, often nourished through the winter and into spring by the mulch created by the leaves shed.
Autumn leaves don't fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on this their only chance to soar. ~Delia Owens
How beautiful the leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days. ~Jon Burroughs
Fallen leaves on the ground are the golden song of immortal creativity. ~Amit Ray
Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons. ~Jim Bishop
Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits. ~Samuel Butler
If a year was tucked inside a clock, then autumn would be the magic hour. ~Victoria Erickson
Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting, and autumn a mosaic of them all. ~Stanley Horowitz
I hope I can be the autumn leaf, who looked at the sky and lived. And when it was time to leave, gracefully it knew life was a gift. ~Dodinsky

Quoting reminds me there are other people in the world besides only me.
And other thoughts besides mine, and other ways of thinking.
