Ten of the Most Beautiful Literary Quotes about Autumn.

As much as I have enjoyed the brightness, vibrancy and warmth of the summer months, I'm really looking forward to the beauty and wisdom that autumn months bring.

For bookworms, bibliophiles, book lovers and avid readers, cosy nights spent in the warmth and comfort of the home is perfection: a soothing, hot drink; soft blankets; dimmed lighting and a good book that engrosses, is bliss!

To help you get into the autumnal mood (if you haven't already), I've compiled a mini list of some of the most beautiful literary quotes about autumn.

1. "Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall" - F. Scott Fitzgerald.
2. "Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of the first September was crisp and golden as an apple." - J.K. Rowling.
3. "But when fall comes, kicking summer out on its treacherous ass as it always does one day sometime after the midpoint of September, it stays awhile like an old friend that you have missed. It settles in the way an old friend will settle into your favourite chair...then fill the afternoon with stories of places he has been and things he has done since last he saw you." - Stephen King.
4. "There is something so incredibly nostalgic and significant about the annual cascade of autumn leaves." - Joe L. Wheeler.
5. "It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinammon." - Sarah Addison Allen.
6. "Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons." - Jim Bishop.
7. "I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion." - Henry David Thoreau.
8. "Fall has always been my favourite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale." - Lauren DeStefano.
9. "It was a beautiful bright autumn day, with air like cider and a sky so blue you could drown in it." - Diana Gabaldon.
10. "At no other time does the earth let itself be inhaled in one smell, the ripe earth; in a smell that is in no way inferior to the smell of the sea, bitter where it borders on taste, and more honeysweet where you feel it touching the first sounds. Containing depth within itself, darkness, something of the grave almost." - Rainer Maria Rilke.

I'd love to know if you have any quotes that you'd like to share and add to the list - hopefully it'll inspire and encourage me, as well as others, to read books or authors that we haven't read yet.

Happy Autumn!
