  - John Burroughs

• ‟ To many forms of life of our northern lands, winter means a long sleep; to others, it means what it means to many fortunate human beings - travels in warm climes. To still others, who again have their human prototypes, it means a struggle, more or less fierce, to keep soul and body together; while to many insect forms, it means death.

  - John Burroughs
  

• ‟ All sounds are sharper in winter; the air transmits better.
