We omitted a lot of possible inclusions here; it seems like most quotes about autumn are attempts at deluding oneself into thinking it’s a really nice time of year in spite of the fact that you can suddenly see your breath and anything that hasn’t turned brown and died has pigged out and climbed into a hole to sleep it off.

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
- Albert Camus

No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds – November!
- Thomas Hood

A wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand.  I think, I too, have known autumn too long.
- e.e. cummings

Fall is my favorite season in Los Angeles, watching the birds change color and fall from the trees.
- David Letterman

Football.
- Hal Weckler
