Famous quotes with Summer and winter

  • We need society, and we need solitude also, as we need summer and winter, day and night, exercise and rest.
    Philip Gilbert Hamerton
  • [I first climbed Half Dome on] one of those brooding days that come just between Indian summer and winter, when the clouds are like living creatures.
    John Muir
  • When the first savage saw his hut destroyed by a bolt of lightning, he fell down upon his face in terror. He had no conception of natural forces, of laws of electricity ; he saw this event as the act of an individual intelligence.The story of the hero who slays the devouring dragon was not merely a symbol of day and night, of summer and winter; it was a literal explanation of the phenomena, it was the science of early times.
    Upton Sinclair
  • There was never a time when the world began, because it goes round and round like a circle, and there is no place on a circle where it begins. Look at my watch, which tells the time; it goes round, and so the world repeats itself again and again. But just as the hour-hand of the watch goes up to twelve and down to six, so, too, there is day and night, waking and sleeping, living and dying, summer and winter. You can't have any one of these without the other, because you wouldn't be able to know what black is unless you had seen it side-by-side with white, or white unless side-by-side with black.
    Alan Watts
  • Hearts with one purpose alone Through summer and winter, seem Enchanted to a stone To trouble the living stream.
    William Butler Yeats
