Best November Quotes
The wind that makes music in November corn is in a hurry. The stalks hum, the loose husks whisk skyward in half-playing swirls, and the wind hurries on… A tree tries to argue, bare limbs waving, but there is no detaining the wind.
Aldo Leopold
November with uncanny witchery in its changed trees. With murky red sunsets flaming in smoky crimson behind the westering hills. With dear days when the austere woods were beautiful and gracious in a dignified serenity of folded hands and closed eyes–days full of a fine, pale sunshine that sifted through the late, leafless gold of the juniper-trees and glimmered among the grey beeches, lighting up evergreen banks of moss and washing the colonnades of the pines.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Good November Sayings
The wild November comes at last beneath a veil of rain. The night wind blows its folds aside; her face is full of pain. The latest of her race, she takes Autumn’s vacant throne. She has but one short moon to live on, and she must live alone.
R.H. Stoddard
In rough October, the earth must disrobe her; stars fall and shoot. In keen November, the night is long, and cold is strong in bleak December.
Christina G. Rossetti
November’s sky is chill and drear; November’s leaf is red and sear.

A barren realm of withered fields, bleak woods, and falling leaves. The palest morns that ever dawned, the dreariest of eves. It is no wonder that she comes, poor month with tears of pain. For what can one so hopeless do but weep and weep again.
R.H. Stoddard
Spring is brown; summer, green; Autumn, yellow; Winter, white; November, gray.
Henry David Thoreau
In November, people are good to each other. They carry pies to each other’s homes and talk by crackling woodstoves, sipping mellow cider.
