Celebrate the Changing Leaves by Reading These Beautiful Quotes About Fall
Who's ready for fall? The answer should be unanimous across the board, because if we're being honest, who doesn't love wearing sweaters and flannels, drinking pumpkin spice lattes, and participating in fall activities like apple picking? Fall is full of all the best things in life, and we're so glad that there are a bunch of people who agree. That includes our very own Ree Drummond, who says, "I would like to officially declare that fall is my favorite season." With that in mind, we've rounded up the best fall quotes that perfectly describe everything that autumn has to offer, such as quotes about the fall foliage or quotes about pumpkins.
Lyrical lines will delight like George Eliot's "Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love—that makes life and nature harmonize." But we've also got some more fun options to share with the kids, like Winnie the Pooh's ode to the season: "It's the first day of autumn! A time of hot chocolatey mornings, toasty marshmallow evenings, and, best of all, leaping into leaves!" You'll find plenty of simple truisms here as well. A short John Burroughs quote comes to mind: "How beautiful the leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days." Just don't forget to snap a photo of your adventures this season—some of these could even work as fall Instagram captions!
