The perfect winter’s night for me would be with all the family together. As you get a little older and everybody has their jobs and then families and kids, it definitely becomes harder to get everybody together at once.
I was in Cuba in the winter of 1937. I was playing in Cuba, and I’m in the shower, and I slipped and caught myself with my right arm. I felt something pull right then. Then, in ’38, when I came back, my arm was messed up.
And finally Winter, with its bitin’, whinin’ wind, and all the land will be mantled with snow.
Obviously, we’re focused on the Winter Classic.
I thought that some of my best records was when there wasn’t a lot of work being done on it, like ‘Winter in America’ and ‘Secrets’ and when there weren’t a whole lot of people in the studios.
Living indoors without fresh air quickly poisons the blood and makes people feel tired and seedy when they don’t know why. For myself, I sleep out of doors in winter as well as summer. I only feel tired or seedy when I have been indoors a lot. I only catch cold when I sleep in a room.
Don’t get me wrong – it’s amazing playing basketball. But being 19 years old, playing and interacting with grown men with families wasn’t fun all the time, especially during a grueling 82-game season. That, mixed with Toronto’s freezing winter climate, made me miss my buddies back at Tech even more.
As winter weather settles in around the country, millions of American families are facing skyrocketing home heating prices with even greater impact if cold temperatures persist into the spring.
I get homesick for snow and for winter and for seasons and, really, for weather patterns. But L.A. has some of the best weather, so who can complain when it’s 80 degrees and sunny?
Give me a hot drink, and I’m happy. Hot cider, hot chocolate, coffee… I like all winter beverages!
I know ‘Hallelujah’ isn’t actually a Christmas song, but it has that cozy, haunting vibe that sounds like a winter’s night and belongs by a fire.
He who marvels at the beauty of the world in summer will find equal cause for wonder and admiration in winter.

I love Delhi’s winter.
I have never seen snow and do not know what winter means.
As the winter set in with its customary Canadian severity the real trouble of the French began. They did not suffer from the cold, but they were dying of scurvy.
I spend too much time away from home. I love travelling, but we can be away for as much as four months during the winter.
I loved having bonfires in the winter with my friends in the backyard.
Left ear, I wear four earrings. The four is symbolic of the four seasons, spring, winter, summer and fall, the four directions, north, east, south and west, the four gospel writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
With the approaching winter the air quality in many Indian cities, especially in Delhi, becomes a public health hazard. Something so fundamental as breathing easy can no longer be taken for granted. It’s a wake-up call worthy of a civic revolution.
I remember taking a 4×4 up the Sani Pass in South Africa, which goes up into Lesotho. It’s a dangerous hairpin trail on this treacherous road and I went up in winter. Half of the road stays in the shade. We turned the corner on this hairpin and just hit black ice.
In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.
Winter is my favourite season for clothes because I’m happiest wearing knitted dresses, leggings, and Uggs.
Basically, I like anything with guts – Lead Belly, Bill Big Broonzy, Johnny Winter, the Stones.
In my book ‘The Winter Sea,’ set north of Aberdeen, I couldn’t just ignore the fact some people there – especially the people in the past – would speak the Doric.
Perhaps because my town was so naturally gothic in its architecture and relative isolation – the roads often closed in winter – my stories tended toward the ghostly and the creepily suspenseful right from the get-go.

Known colloquially as ‘winter,’ ‘golden needle,’ and ‘velvet foot’ mushrooms, enoki mushrooms grow across much of the world, inhabiting dead conifer trees and stumps, and generally appearing throughout the late fall and winter months.
We Californians can watch the Weather Channel for images of winter’s brutality unleashed upon our fellow Americans and thank our lucky stars we don’t have to contend with it.
I love summertime more than anything else in the world. That is the only thing that gets me through the winter, knowing that summer is going to be there.
Time seems to slow down after the winter holiday. New York loses all of its winter romance and is just cold.
My mother often used to speak about her time during the war and during the famous hunger winter in Holland – in the latter part of the war there was no heating and very little food and so her mother used to say, ‘You stay in bed most of the day to preserve your calories.’
Let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius.
Winter is always the hardest period for rough sleepers because of the climate and the post-Christmas dip in generosity towards anyone begging. And there’s a genuine risk to life for anyone having to sleep out as temperatures plummet.
Sometimes, you need to revamp yourself over the winter, participate in things that make you appreciate what you have.
All this time I lived with my parents, and wrought on the plantation; and having had schooling pretty well for a planter, I used to improve myself in winter evenings, and other leisure times.
Well, I was born in Miami, and then I lived for a long time in Tallahassee, and before that, Winter Haven, which is a tiny town in Florida. I was not a city girl.

In Minneapolis, the overhead sky walks protect pedestrians from the winter cold and snow.
It’s challenging to live in Anacortes. I lived in Olympia for five years, went on tour for a year, ended up in Norway for a winter, and ended up back in Anacortes. But I have a long life ahead of me. I’ll probably live in many different places, and then die in Anacortes.
Although in my life the level of loss has never reached the extremes it does in ‘The Winter People,’ I certainly can identify with being both a daughter longing for her mother and being a mother who is almost scared by the intensity of her love for her daughter.
Let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius.
Ireland, in breadth, and for wholesomeness and serenity of climate, far surpasses Britain; for the snow scarcely ever lies there above three days: no man makes hay in the summer for winter’s provision, or builds stables for his beasts of burden… the island abounds in milk and honey.
In general, just as a framing, we always thought about ‘Winter Soldier’ very specifically as a political thriller.
I have never seen snow and do not know what winter means.
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn’t show.
My signature look is an eighties baby doll dress, combat boots with colorful socks sticking out, and then mounds of jewelry. I love silver and turquoise. I go to Montana every winter, so I hunt around for cool pieces there.
I love summertime more than anything else in the world. That is the only thing that gets me through the winter, knowing that summer is going to be there.
My granny would come out and stay with us in the winter, and we would listen to the reports from the coastal stations and have a discussion in the middle of Glasgow about what the weather was like in Tiree.
I find it easier to write in the winter in Melbourne. When the weather is good you want to go out for a walk, ride a bike, go to a cafe or something. When it’s raining, when it’s a miserable day, I just sit down at my desk and get some work done.
I went to see Billy Connolly do two hours with no break at the Apollo, with Parkinson’s disease, during the winter, and it was one of the most important gigs I have seen in my life.
The work that we do during the winter is very important; we have a new bike and it’s important to develop it during this time, and we start with this test.
In winter, the stars seem to have rekindled their fires, the moon achieves a fuller triumph, and the heavens wear a look of a more exalted simplicity. Summer is more wooing and seductive, more versatile and human, appeals to the affections and the sentiments, and fosters inquiry and the art impulse.
Nothing is as easy to make as a promise this winter to do something next summer; this is how commencement speakers are caught.
