• So that's what I'm here to become. And suddenly, this word fills me with a brand of sadness I haven't felt since childhood. The kind of sadness you feel at the end of summer. When the fireflies are gone, the ponds have dried up and the plants are wilted, weary from being so green.

• Spring is the fresh green of young corn and the pink blush of blossoms. Autumn contrasts the yellowed foilage with violet hues. Winter is the white of snow against its black forms ... Summer is the contrast of blues and the golden bronze of the corn.

• Nos divertiremos con las formas que se nos dan: un rostro humano, una mano, el pecho de una mujer o el cuerpo de un hombre, una expresión alegre o apenada, los mares infinitos, las rocas salvajes, el lenguaje melancólico de los árboles negros en la nieve, la fuerza salvaje de las flores de primavera y el pesado letargo de un caluroso día de verano, cuando Pan, nuestro viejo amigo, duerme y los fantasmas del mediodía susurran. Sólo esto basta para hacernos olvidar el dolor del mundo, o para darle forma.

  Max Beckmann

• Las lluvias primaverales despertaron a los labradores dormidos, y brotes de un verde brillante brotaron de la tierra húmeda y se alzaron como durmientes que se estiran tras una larga siesta. A medida que la primavera daba paso al verano, los brillantes tallos verdes se oscurecían, se bronceaban, se volvían marrón dorado. Los días se hicieron largos y calurosos. Gruesas torres de nubes negras y arremolinadas traían la lluvia, y los tallos marrones brillaban en el crepúsculo perpetuo que habitaba bajo el dosel. El trigo se alzaba y las espigas maduras se doblaban al viento de la pradera, una cortina ondulante, un mar infinito y ondulante que se extendía hasta el horizonte.

• En las tardes de verano, cuando todas las flores, árboles y pájaros podrían haberse dirigido mejor a mi tierno y joven corazón, en mis días he sido cogido por la coronilla con la palma de una mano femenina, he sido violentamente restregado desde el cuello hasta la raíz del cabello como purificación para el Templo, y luego he sido llevado cargado de electricidad saponácea, para ser cocido al vapor como una patata en el aliento sin ventilación del poderoso Boanerges Boiler y su congregación, hasta que la pequeña mente que tenía, fue totalmente vaporizada.

• A summer breeze can be very refreshing; but if we try to put it in a tin can so we can have it entirely to ourselves, the breeze will die. Our beloved is the same. He is like a breeze, a cloud, a flower. If you imprison him in a tin can, he will die. Yet many people do just that. They rob their loved one of his liberty, until he can no longer be himself. They live to satisfy themselves and use their loved one to help them fulfill that. That is not loving; it is destroying.

  Nhat Hanh

• Summer, with its dog days, its vacations, its distractions, is over. We have had our holidays, our rest, our recreation. The fall season, with its new opportunities for effort, enterprise and achievement, is upon us. Let us rip off our coats and get down to business. We may have allowed pessimism to grip us during the summer months. We may even have allowed laziness to enter our bones. Now it is up to us to throw off both lassitude and pessimism. The time has come for action, for aggressiveness.

  B. C. Forbes

• If you were my queen, truly my queen, our court would be stronger still. If you were mine , without mortal distractions, we'd be safer. We'd be stronger if we were truly together. Summer is a time to rejoice in pleasures and heat. When I'm around you, I want to forget everything else. I love Donia. I always will, but when I'm near you--" He stopped himself.

• Just as teardrops, when they are large and round and compassionate, can leave a long strand washed clean of discord, the summer rain as it washes away the motionless dust can bring to a person's soul something like endless breathing.
