Welcome to autumn, one of the most magical and ethereal seasons of the year. Discover the best quotes about fall.
The Doors' Jim Morrison once wrote: "Where will we be / When the summer's gone?"

So, metaphorically speaking, fall is Nature's transition from a critical moment in our lives to another one.
