~By Morgan Freeman ~
What was so good about it was that the set that they originally built stayed there, and weathered over the five years. It got five summers and five winters of weather. It became more and more authentic as we worked in it, and they added bits to it.
~By Derek Jacobi ~
You know, at 35 or at 38 or 40 you really start to see what your body could look like if you just don't do anything all winter long. So that's another motivating factor, our vanity.
~By Stone Gossard ~
From the bitter cold winter at Valley Forge, to the mountains of Afghanistan and the deserts of Iraq, our soldiers have courageously answered when called, gone where ordered, and defended our nation with honor.
~By Solomon Ortiz ~
In the wintertime, in the snow country, citrus fruit was so rare, and if you got one, it was better than ambrosia.
~By James Earl Jones ~
As winter strips the leaves from around us, so that we may see the distant regions they formerly concealed, so old age takes away our enjoyments only to enlarge the prospect of the coming eternity.
~By Jean Paul ~
Long stormy spring-time, wet contentious April, winter chilling the lap of very May; but at length the season of summer does come.

~By Gene Kelly ~
Winter is nature's way of saying, "Up yours."
~By Robert Byrne ~
If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter.

~By Andrew Wyeth ~
My friend, I am going to tell you the story of my life, as you wish; and if it were only the story of my life I think I would not tell it; for what is one man that he should make much of his winters, even when they bend him like a heavy snow?
~By Black Elk ~
Even in winter an isolated patch of snow has a special quality.
~By Andy Goldsworthy ~

~By Chief Joseph ~
In this part of the world, only Maine gives winter the welcome and the worship it should have.

~By Rick Larsen ~
I write probably 80 percent of my stuff over the winter.
~By Bob Seger ~
I'm working seven days a week in the fall. I couldn't possibly keep that up. This is only for the fall. In the last couple of years I've tended to do most of my serious writing in the winter, when there's nothing going on with football.
~By Gregg Easterbrook ~
The long, cold Minnesota winters instilled in me a fascination for exotic far off places; I aspired toward a career in tropical diseases and world health problems.

~By David Hobson ~
Winter is not a season, it's an occupation.
~By Sinclair Lewis ~
Thou hast no sorrow in thy song, no winter in thy year.

~By Adolf Galland ~
We played all of the songs on the first Johnny Winter AND every day before we recorded them, so that when we got in the studio, it was totally easy, as we knew exactly what we wanted to do.
~By Rick Derringer ~
Bill Mitchell said he really liked it. But when he asked the other four their opinions, we all took one look at ourselves in our raggedy long winter coats and cracked up. We knew we weren't likely to tempt anyone or anything, but what the hell, it was as good a name as any.
~By Otis Williams ~
While I relish our warm months, winter forms our character and brings out our best.

I grew up in New Hampshire. My closest neighbor was a mile away. The deer and the raccoons were my friends. So I would spend time walking through the woods, looking for the most beautiful tropical thing that can survive the winter in the woods in New Hampshire.
~By Steven Tyler ~
I made some friends who are still friends, and this is the city of my birth. I love living here when there's a reason to, other than just moving here. I still don't like the winters here, but it's an amazing city and I love it.
~By Michael McKean ~
In 2002 the Yamaha was at more or less the same level as the Honda, better in some ways, worse in others. But in the winter of last year between 2002 and 2003, Honda made a big step forward and it seemed as if Yamaha couldn't quite match that improvement.
~By Valentino Rossi ~
Winter makes a bridge between one year and another and, in this case, one century and the next.

~By John Woolman ~
When I grew up there wasn't air-conditioning or anything of that nature, and this old car had a wall thickness of about ten inches. So we had a little warmer house in the winter and a little cooler in the summer.
~By Merle Haggard ~
There is no pressure on me, I can take a lot of risks in the coming weeks. I feel free to ski the way I decide on race-day because the overall title was not my main target this winter.

My door was open part of the time, and part of the time I tried to get a nap and their voices annoyed me, and I closed it. I kept it open in summer more or less, and closed in winter.
~By Lizzie Andrew Borden ~
I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer.
~By Brendan Behan ~
Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.
~By Robert H. Schuller ~
We need to drive like hell and get to the hills before the winter sets in.
~By Steven Squyres ~

~By William E. Gladstone ~
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.
~By Harry Johnston ~
Winter testing is essential but there comes a point where you have had enough of all the rehearsals and the pretend racing. You just want to get down to the real action.
~By Damon Hill ~
We are the last remaining country to allow ourselves two breaks in the season. You just have to look at England, Italy and Spain, they play right through the season. We on the other hand take six weeks off in the winter until the end of January, and that is a luxury.
~By Franz Beckenbauer ~
There are only two seasons - winter and Baseball.
~By Bill Veeck ~

That last winter was a tragic story and I got no personal honour out of it but I was a witness to it.
~By Laurie Lee ~
In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.
~By Albert Camus ~
My children, as long as you live, the shadow of the Hiss Case will brush you. In every pair of eyes that rests on you, you will see pass, like a cloud passing behind a woods in winter, the memory of your father - dissembled in friendly eyes, lurking in unfriendly eyes.
~By Whittaker Chambers ~
Our journey so far has been very satisfactory: we are most fortunate as regards the season, for there has been more rain this winter than has been known for the last four or five years.
~By William John Wills ~
In essence the Renaissance was simply the green end of one of civilization's hardest winters.
~By John Fowles ~

~By Mark-Paul Gosselaar ~
Maine's long and cold winters may help keep our State's population low, but our harsh climate also accounts for what is unique and valuable about our land and our people.
~By Tom Allen ~
That got me thinking. Bon Jovi kills in Jersey. Just kills. We did Atlantic City this past winter and man, you wouldn't believe the intensity in that crowd. Can I just talk for a minute about how amazingly hot Heather is?
~By Richie Sambora ~
Pretty it's pretty good for me because I'm over here in the winters. It's really improved my golf game.
~By Peter Forsberg ~
You may depend on it that the bunting, emberiza miliaria, does not leave this country in the winter.
