~ Fennel Hudson, British author
Christmas
― Bess Streeter Aldrich (b. February 17, 1881 – d. August 3, 1954)
November
“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.”
Edith Sitwell (b. 7 September 1887 – d. 9 December 1964)
Halloween
“Halloween shadows played upon the walls of the houses. In the sky the Halloween moon raced in and out of the clouds. The Halloween wind was blowing, not a blasting of wind but a right-sized swelling, falling, and gushing of wind. It was a lovely and exciting night, exactly the kind of night Halloween should be.”
~ Eleanor Estes, American children’s author (b. May 9, 1906 – d. July 15, 1988)
Do what you feel in your heart…
“Do what you feel in your heart to be right — for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.”
Eleanor Roosevelt (b. October 11, 1884 – d. November 7, 1962)
September
“September was a thirty-days long goodbye to summer, to the season that left everybody both happy and weary of the warm, humid weather and the exhausting but thrilling adventures.”
