Quotes about winter and spring
We often use contrasting schemes to describe, express, and develop ideas, emotions, situations, etc. That’s why the contrast between winter and spring or summer is so popular in literature and poetry. Winter is all about coldness, withering, and darkness. On the other hand, spring is about rebirth, bloom, and sunshine. And, the summer season expresses not only warmth but also joy and carefreeness.
“But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.”

“The years pass in their hundreds and their thousands, and what does any man see of life but a few summers, a few winters? We look at mountains and call them eternal, and so they seem… but in the course of time, mountains rise and fall, rivers change their courses, stars fall from the sky, and great cities sink beneath the sea. Even gods die, we think. Everything changes.”
George R.R. Martin

The only green things left are the holly bushes and the old boxwood hedges in the village, and these are often painted white with snow.”
Alice Hoffman
