“It is a living. It is enough. I am free. The nights are long and quiet, the mornings cool and bright, I live with the sun, the moon, and the stars. The air is fresh where I am, and there is no one to hurry me or to demand this or that of me.”
― Louis L'Amour, Fair Blows the Wind

“Winter is not a season, it's an occupation.”
― Sinclair Lewis

“A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.”
― Carl Reiner

― Grace Burrowes, Tremaine's True Love
