October is nature's funeral month. Nature glories in death more than in life. The month of departure is more beautiful than the month of coming - October than May. Every green thin loves to die in bright colors.

Henry Ward Beecher

October is the opal month of the year. It is the month of glory, of ripeness. It is the picture-month.

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Van Dyke

Ray Bradbury

What of October, that ambiguous month, the month of tension, the unendurable month?

Doris Lessing

He had never liked October. Ever since he had first lay in the autumn leaves before his grandmother's house many years ago and heard the wind and saw the empty trees. It had made him cry, without a reason. And a little of that sadness returned each year to him. It always went away with spring. But, it was a little different tonight. There was a feeling of autumn coming to last a million years. There would be no spring. ("The October Game")

Ray Bradbury

I have come to regard November as the older, harder man's October. I appreciate the early darkness and cooler temperatures. It puts my mind in a different place than October. It is a month for a quieter, slightly more subdued celebration of summer's death as winter tightens its grip.

Henry Rollins

October is the month for painted leaves. Their rich glow now flashes round the world. As fruits and leaves and the day itself acquire a bright tint just before they fall, so the year near its setting. October is its sunset sky; November the later twilight.

Henry David Thoreau

'Tis a month before the month of May, And the spring comes slowly up this way.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Chicago is an October sort of city even in spring.

Nelson Algren

I have been younger in October than in all the months of spring.

W. S. Merwin

Dusk was falling quickly. It was just after 7 P.M., and the month was October.

Patricia Highsmith

You know, I have a kid on my own, and I know how busy it is, the first weeks and the first month.

Alessandra Ambrosio

Three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do.
