45 Best November Quotes to Help You Embrace the Heart of Fall
“November is tied together with the heartstrings of gratitude.”
October might be the spooky start of cozy season, but everyone knows the heart of fall is in November when that familiar chill returns to the air! You know, that special time when the vibrant autumn foliage has fallen, and the crisp temperatures prompt you to reach for a warm fall coat instead of your usual flannel. It’s a lovely transition, marking the end of October’s freaky festivities and the start of Thanksgiving and all its turkey-themed delights. This season is all about change, beautifully captured in these November quotes!
There are plenty of quotes on this list that get the season down to a tee. This one from Rainbow Rowell happens to get it 100% right: “It was the best kind of November day. Cold and crisp, but not quite freezing, not icy.” Others are fall quotes that describe the beauty of it all, like this one from Clyde Watson: “November comes, and November goes. With the last red berries and the first white snows.” Others will just make you want to dive into your favorite fall treats, like this one from Sarah Addison Allen: “It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.”
