Not a place, but a moment, and then another, building on each other like bricks to create a solid shelter that you take with you for your entire life, wherever you may go.”

A touch of magic. A pinch of fright. Cast a spell. This festive night…

Lock your windows, Bolt the door; Monster season’s Here once more!

My favorite color is October.
When witches go riding, and black cats are unseen, the moon laughs and whspers, ’tis near Halloween.
During the day, I don’t believe in ghosts. At night, I’m a little more open-minded.
The dead rise again, bats fly, terror strikes and screams echo, for tonight it’s Halloween.

Robert Englund
Halloween starts earlier and earlier, just like Christmas.
Ann Hood
We were a family that made our Halloween costumes. Or, more accurately, my mother made them. She took no suggestions or advice. Halloween costumes were her territory. She was the brain behind my brother’s winning girl costume, stuffing her own bra with newspapers for him to wear under a cashmere sweater and smearing red lipstick on his lips.
Lewis Black
The worst thing about Halloween is, of course, candy corn. It’s unbelievable to me. Candy corn is the only candy in the history of America that’s never been advertised. And there’s a reason. All of the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911. And so, since nobody eats that stuff, every year there’s a ton of it left over.
Conan O’Brien
This Halloween, the most popular mask is the Arnold Schwarzenegger mask. And the best part? With a mouth full of candy you will sound just like him.
Millie Bobby Brown
I’m cool with people dressing up as Eleven for Halloween. I definitely want to open my door and give them candy.

For me, Halloween is year-round. But my Halloween is the real Halloween – dealing with the real dead.
Glenn Danzig
No trick or treaters came to my house for Halloween. For some reason, people around here are scared of me.
Chris Rock
Charlie Brown is the one person I identify with. C.B. is such a loser. He wasn’t even the star of his own Halloween special.
Jeffree Star
Halloween is all about being bold, daring, and creative! You get to be someone else for the night thanks to makeup and a costume. I pretty much do that on the daily, so I am not that big on Halloween, but I do appreciate a good costume and some incredible makeup.
Khalid
I was in the sixth grade and living in Germany, when I was hanging out late with some friends. I turned around, and there’s a dude dressed up as Michael Myers following us all the way home. It was the scariest thing ever, and it always reminds me of Halloween. In my mind, I was so young, so I really thought it was Mike Myers following me home.
Kim Petras
I love Halloween, and I love spooky stuff. I love horror movies. I love everything creepy, and I’ve always kind of wanted to do this, just do really dark pop.
Kirstin Maldonado
I love Halloween – I’m a die hard.
Rachel Platten
I refuse to dress ‘hot’ for Halloween, ’cause I always have to have makeup and hair and look cute for my job. So on Halloween, I either go gory or weird or funny.
Carrie Underwood
I love scary movies. I like blood and gore, and I love Halloween movies.
Ricky Schroder
I love horror. I love ‘The Shining,’ ‘Friday the 13th,’ ‘Halloween,’ all those kinds of things. I love zombies, especially ’28 Days Later’ and ’28 Weeks Later,’ where the zombies are going faster than the George Romero ones. I love being scared; there’s something that’s awesome about your heart rate going up like that.
Drew Carey
I see my face in the mirror and go, ‘I’m a Halloween costume? That’s what they think of me?’
Cassandra Peterson
If ever there was a holiday that deserves to be commercialized, it’s Halloween. We haven’t taken it away from kids. We’ve just expanded it so that the kid in adults can enjoy it, too.
Tommy Chong
You look at Cheney, Rumsfeld, Karl Rove, and Bush – if you saw them on Halloween, they wouldn’t need a costume. You’d give them a treat and compliment them on what great-looking demons they were. They are demons. There’s no doubt about it.
Lisa Morton
In Britain, the major public holiday used to be Guy Fawkes Day… that was celebrated on November 5th with things like bonfires and fireworks… I think that made Halloween seem preferable. The idea of having pumpkins and costumes and parties seemed much more appealing than burning down your neighborhood.

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

Rumi
The garden of love is green without limit and yields many fruits other than sorrow or joy. Love is beyond either condition: without spring, without autumn, it is always fresh.

My sorrow, when she’s here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane.

Alys Fowler
I am made for autumn. Summer and I have a fickle relationship, but everything about autumn is perfect to me. Wooly jumpers, scarves, thin first, then thick, socks. The low slanting light, the crisp mornings, the chill in my fingers, those last warm sunny days before the rain and the wind. The moody hues and subdued palete punctuated every now and again by a brilliant orange, scarlet or copper goodbye.

I am such an autumn person. Give me a quiet, cozy spot with a simple view of gorgeous trees with colorful leaves on a crisp September day, fuzzy socks, a warm drink, and a good book and I will be in all my glory.

Why Quotes and are there any why quotes we can see?
First there are a few why quotes above. Then there are more, way more following this section.
Some may ask what is the purpose of quotes? Why do we even have them? Good questions so let’s answer them in layman’s terms, short and to the point.
Here are some reasons for why we have quotes:
To document or pay homage to the person who said it. These are often famous or well-known people.
Sometimes to provide information in a short easy to understand form.
Provide or invoke philosophical thoughts from the reader.
You can probably think of other reasons to use quotes. We’re talking about sentences and not quote or quotation marks. Famous quotations are frequently collected in books that are sometimes called quotation dictionaries or treasuries.
Diaries and calendars often include quotations for entertainment or inspirational purposes. The huge amount of online quotations, combined with the search engines, has effectively made the Internet the world’s quotation storehouse.
It is easy to find an unprecedented number of quotations with very little work involved. In fact if you just want something to do I challenge you to find and count a million quotes. You can do that easily online if you have lots of time.

You deserve as much love you give to other people.
