quotations about summer
Summer is rolling across our paths with all its pleasures, like a cinnamon roll unrolling across your plate leaving a trail of gooey goodness to gather on your fingers and lap up until every drop of sunshine and sugary satisfaction is enjoyed. Oh, it's going to be hot and marvelous, but there are decisions to be made ... like what to drink to quench that summer thirst.
TRINA MACHACEK

Summer will end soon enough, and childhood as well.
GEORGE R. R. MARTIN
A Game of Thrones
Summer, after all, is a time when wonderful things can happen to quiet people. For those few months, you're not required to be who everyone thinks you are, and that cut-grass smell in the air and the chance to dive into the deep end of a pool give you a courage you don't have the rest of the year. You can be grateful and easy, with no eyes on you, and no past. Summer just opens the door and lets you out.
DEB CALETTI
Honey, Baby, Sweetheart
It happened one summer
It happened one time
It happened forever
For a short time
A place for a moment
An end to dream
Forever I loved you
Forever it seemed
THE MOTELS
"Suddenly Last Summer"
I have a fancy that the sun
Regenerates what he looks upon,
And love to loiter in his rays
Thro' the warm length of summer days.
BESSIE RAYNER BELLOC
Summer Sketches and Other Poems
Every shady grove in summer is to a man a holy temple, where his God moves nearer to him; every green sod an altar, where he kneels before the Lofty One.
LUDWIG HEINRICH CHRISTOPH HOLTY
attributed, Day's Collacon
And lest ye long for sunny days
And grudge the cloudy sky,
I'll shew thee summer in my looks
And sunshine in my eye.
GEORGE MURRAY
Islaford, and Other Poems: a Book for Winter Evenings and Summer Moods
Perhaps there is no time in a summer's day more cheering, than when the warmth of the sun is just beginning to triumph over the freshness of the morning--when there is just a lingering hint of early coolness to keep off languor under the delicious influence of warmth.
GEORGE ELIOT
Adam Bede
And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.
F. SCOTT FITZGERALD
The Great Gatsby
Well I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler
About a-workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollar
Everytime I call my baby, to try to get a date
My boss says, "No dice, son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
EDDIE COCHRAN
"Summertime Blues"
What many people don't realize is that summer is the perfect time to add exercise into their lives. Longer daylight hours, less rigid work schedules and fewer child care demands mean you have time to establish an exercise routine that fits your work-life balance and can keep you toned not only during the summer, but also throughout the year.
NEMIAH RUTLEDGE
"Summer is the season to kickstart your exercise routine", Ponte Vedra Recorder, July 5, 2017
Summertime is finally here ...
And it's two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love and an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo
And a Yoo-Hoo bottle on the floorboard
Perfect song on the radio
Sing along 'cause it's one we know
It's a smile, it's a kiss
It's a sip of wine, it's summertime
Sweet summertime
KENNY CHESNEY
"Summertime"
The Indian Summer, the dead Summer's soul,
Comes back with more than the first loveliness--
The all I've lost, the more I never found
Haunting her beauty, while for me she weaves
Of color, odor, sound, her perfect days.
MARY CLEMMER AMES
"Presence"
Summers had a logic all their own and they always brought something out in me. Summer was supposed to be about freedom and youth and no school and possibilities and adventure and exploration. Summer was a book of hope.
BENJAMIN ALIRE SAENZ
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
It is easy to forget now, how effervescent and free we all felt that summer.
ANNA GODBERSEN
Bright Young Things
Summer, summer, summertime
time to sit back and unwind.
WILL SMITH
"Summertime", Homebase
If you've forgotten what I'm naming
You're gonna long to reclaim it one day
Because that summer feeling is gonna haunt you one day in your life
And if you wait until your older
A sad resentment will smolder one day
And then that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
And that summer feeling's gonna taunt you
And then that summer feeling is gonna hurt you one day in your life
JONATHAN RICHMAN
"That Summer Feeling"
A summer romance is something special, because it blazes like a comet across the sky and then fades out. The thing that makes it special--that makes everything move so fast--is that a summer romance is doomed to end.
JOHN VORNHOLT
Coyote Moon
That's why I loved and hated summers. Because they made me want to believe.
BENJAMIN ALIRE SAENZ
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
Summer is watermelons and swimming pools and home-grown tomatoes and the scent of freshly mowed lawns.
