As the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp, autumn beckons us to slow down, cosy up, and get lost in a good book. The season of change has long inspired writers to capture its magic in words. Here is a collection of classic literature quotes that perfectly capture the essence of fall.
"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns." - George Eliot, Letter to Maria Lewis
"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall." - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers." - L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
"It was one of those perfect English autumnal days which occur more frequently in memory than in life." - P.D. James, A Taste for Death
"No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face. - John Donne, The Autumnal
"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." - Albert Camus, The Fall
"Wild is the music of autumnal winds amongst the faded woods." - William Wordsworth, The Prelude
“Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.” - Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights
