"It is strange to think, I haven't seen you since a month. I have seen the new moon, but not you. I have seen sunsets and sunrises, but nothing of your beautiful face. The pieces of my broken heart are so small that they could be passed through the eye of a needle. I miss you like the sun misses the flower; like the sun misses the flower in the depths of winter. Instead of beauty to direct its light to, the heart hardens like the frozen world your absence has banished me to. I next compete in the city of Paris, I will find it empty and in the winter if you are not there. Hope guides me, that is what gets me through the day and the night. The hope that after you're gone from my sight, it will not be the last time that I look upon you." --William in A Knights Tale.

"And it looks like it's gonna be a looong winter." --Charlie Brown in 'It was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown'

"You want a prediction about the weather, you're asking the wrong Phil. I'll give you a winter prediction: It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life." --Phil in Groundhog Day

as if to celebrate the end of vacation . . . snow today.

"There is a curious paradox that no one can explain: who understands the secrets of the reaping of the grain? Who understands why spring is born out of winter's laboring pain, or why we all must die a bit before we grow again:

--Melanie Lewis in The Dust Factory

"Winter's coming in and the wolves coming with it."
--Roderick in Cry of the Banshee

--Ryan Flynn in The Dust Factory

"Violence doesn't discriminate. It hits all of us...the rich, the poor, the healthy, the sick. It comes as cold and bracing as a winter breeze off the Hudson. Until it sinks into your bones...leaving you with a chill you can't shake. They say there's not rest for the wicked. But what about the good? The battle of Good vs. Evil is never-ending...because evil always survives...with the help of evil men. As for Daredevil, well...soon the world will know the truth. That this is a city born of heroes, that one man CAN make a difference."
--Matt Murdock in Daredevil

"Always winter, never Christmas."
--Mr. Tumnus in The Chronicles of Narnia

--Harley Sullivan in The Cheyenne Social Club

"We can't turn back! We're blazing a trail that started in England. Not even the storms of the sea could turn back the first settlers. And they carrie dit on further. They blazed it on through the wilderness of Kentucky. Famine, hunger, not even massacres could stop them. And now we picked up the trail again. And nothing can stop us! Not even the snows of winter . . ."
--Breck Coleman, Wagon Train Scout, The Big Trail (1930)

"And I'm here to make your life a living hell. Prepare for a bitter harvest. Winter has come at last."
--Mr. Freeze in Batman & Robin
