Autumn Of Life Quotes

“As I drift through the autumn of my life like a fallen leaf blown about by the winds of time, I sometimes ponder my destiny.”
― Peggy Toney Horton

“Autumn brings the falling of leaves and cool days.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita

“Autumn is here and winter is coming.
Two guests I could do without.
I am afraid of them, these strangers
living outside my greenhouse.
They press against the glass, voyeurs,
these seasonal saboteurs.”
― Anne Fall, Rosa Scriptum

“Autumn is in your eyes, by winking slowly, leaves fall into my heart...”
― Pantea Pirayesh

“A broken cloud of small birds can't make up its mind which tree to land in. First they fly to one, then the other, then back again. Like me, they are vagrant, having no focus. And the world is new again, and I feel clean and happy that nearly every morning for the last sixty-odd years I have popped into the world for a while and at the end of the day popped out again, and eventually the day will come when my song will end and that is all fine. I don't need to do anything, I don't need to be Sisyphus rolling his stone. I can be happy, just watching and listening and tasting the air without thinking, without doing. My beard is white, through sun or years; my head as smooth as a river stone. My autumn has come and I'm ripening - how sweet that is! How sweet a flower I'll try to be.”
― Marc Hamer, Seed to Dust: A Gardener's Story

“Still alive I am
At the end of a long dream
On my journey,
Fall of an autumn day.”
― Matsuo Bashō, The Narrow Road to the Deep North and Other Travel Sketches

“I think the seasons complete me-
for once autumn came
I could fall freely
along with every leave.
I do not have to bloom,
yet, I must die
in every delicate line of October.”
― Laura Chouette
