UIPS & QUOTES
Selected by Debra Tweedy
No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace As I have seen in one autumnal face. ~ John Donne, English poet, 1572-1631 October, baptize me with leaves! Swaddle me in corduroy and nurse me with split pea soup. October, tuck tiny candy bars in my pockets and carve my smile into a thousand pumpkins. O autumn! O teakettle! O grace! ~ Rainbow Rowell, American author, 1973The space in which we live should be for the person we are becoming now, not for the person we were in the past. ~ Marie Kondo, Japanese organizing consultant and author, 1984Another belief of mine: that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise. ~ Margaret Atwood, Canadian writer, 1939-
The great thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages you’ve been. ~ Madeleine L’Engel, American writer, 1918-2007 The house was very quiet, and the fog—we are in November now— pressed against the windows like an excluded ghost. ~ E. M. Forster, English writer, 1879-1970 It was one of those days you sometimes get latish in the autumn when the sun beams, the birds toot, and there is a bracing tang in the air that sends the blood beetling briskly through the veins. ~ P.G. Wodehouse, English writer, 1881-1975

November always seemed to me the Norway of the year. ~ Emily Dickinson, American poet, 1830-1886 At a certain point, if you still have your marbles and are not faced with serious financial challenges, you have a chance to put your house in order. It’s a cliché, but it’s underestimated as an analgesic on all levels. Putting your house in order, if you can do it, is one of the most comforting activities, and the benefits of it are incalculable. ~ Leonard Cohen, Canadian singersongwriter and poet, 1934-2016
