What Are Some Quotes About February?

―February is a suitable month for dying. Everything around is dead, the trees black and frozen so that the

appearance of green shoots two months hence seems preposterous, the ground hard and cold, the snow

dirty, the winter hateful, hanging on too long.‖ – Anna Quindlen, One True Thing

―Late February, and the air’s so balmy snowdrops and crocuses might be fooled into early blooming.

Then, the inevitable blizzard will come, blighting our harbingers of spring, and the numbed yards will

go back undercover. In Florida, it’s strawberry season— shortcake, waffles, berries and cream will be

penciled on the coffeeshop menus.‖ – Gail Mazur, The Idea of Florida During a Winter Thaw

―February is merely as long as is needed to pass the time until March.‖ – Dr. J. R. Stockton
