“Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.”

“Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits.”

“We need a coat with two pockets. In one pocket there is dust, and in the other pocket there is gold. We need a coat with two pockets to remind us who we are.”

“But what's worth more than gold?""Practically everything. You, for example. Gold is heavy. Your weight in gold is not very much gold at all. Aren't you worth more than that?”

“Yes, Halloween excites me. That whole time of year, autumn, I find exhilarating. A passionate season. The others are so bland. In the fall, you see opportunities for change. Real change. Possibilities present themselves. None of the renewal and redemption cliches of spring. No. Something darker and more primal and more important than that.”

“Autumn is the hardest season. The leaves are all falling, and they're falling likethey're falling in love with the ground.”
