In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.
Albert Camus
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape – the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show.
Andrew Wyeth
Even in winter an isolated patch of snow has a special quality.

God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, surfeit and hunger.
Heraclitus
Nature looks dead in winter because her life is gathered into her heart. She withers the plant down to the root that she may grow it up again fairer and stronger. She calls her family together within her inmost home to prepare them for being scattered abroad upon the face of the earth.
Hugh Macmillan
One kind word can warm three winter months.
Japanese Proverb
The tendinous part of the mind, so to speak, is more developed in winter; the fleshy, in summer. I should say winter had given the bone and sinew to literature, summer the tissues and the blood.
