The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning Picture Quote #1

For city dwellers like me who don’t get to vacation in the summer, no filmmaker can so effectively make you feel like you went to France for August, fell in love, got hurt, broke up, grew up, and figured some things out - all in 90 minutes or so. My favorite of Rohmer’s cinematic escapes is ‘La Collectionneuse.’ Picture Quote #1

In March 1943, my parents, four-year-old sister and I were interned with other foreign civilians at Lunghua camp, a former teacher training college outside Shanghai, where we remained until the end of August 1945 Picture Quote #1

Ballet in September used to be dead as a dodo. Now, with City Ballet’s ingenious decision to give us four weeks of repertory in the early fall, having cut down on the relentlessly long spring season when dancers, critics and audiences droop on the vine, we wake up after the dog days of August with something to look at Picture Quote #1

Hero is not the word I would use to describe myself on August 20. The word I would use is vessel Picture Quote #1

You need to make a trip to Des Moines in August, because the Iowa State Fair really is a sight to see. The Iowa Fairgrounds are usually packed for those 11 days, and you get a real sense of what a classic Midwest fair is all about Picture Quote #1

Yeah, we held a junior carp tournament on the St. Lawrence River in New York last August. I hosted that along with a couple of other people Picture Quote #1

In August of 2002, I survived a car accident. Although I can still see the van speeding toward us, I cannot bring to mind the crash itself - only its aftermath Picture Quote #1

Do you suppose that it is within your power to insult me? You evidently are not aware to whom you are speaking? Do you imagine that the envenomed spittle of five hundred little gentlemen of your type, heaped one upon another, would succeed in slobbering so much as the tips of my August toes? Picture Quote #1

But I have sinuous shells of pearly hue... Shake one, and it awakens; then apply Its polished lips to your attentive ear, and it remembers its august abodes, and murmurs as the ocean murmurs there Picture Quote #1

How poor, how rich, how abject, how august, how complicate, how wonderful, is man! How passing wonder he, who made him such! Picture Quote #1

You sunburnt sicklemen, of August weary, come hither from the furrow and be merry. Make holiday: your rye straw hats put on, and these fresh nymphs encounter every one In country footing Picture Quote #1

Every year, August lashes out in volcanic fury, rising with the din of morning traffic, its great metallic wings smashing against the ground, heating the air with ever - increasing intensity Picture Quote #1

More investment trusts securities were offered in September of 1929 even than in August - the total was above $600 million. However, the nearly simultaneous promotion of Shenandoah and Blue Ridge was to stand as the pinnacle of new era finance. It is difficult not to marvel at the imagination which was implicit in this gargantuan insanity. If there must be madness something may be said for having it on a heroic scale Picture Quote #1

Slow yellow river flowing, willows that gesture in tepid August airs, and four children playing at greatness, as, doubtless, great men themselves must play Picture Quote #1

The thing you can count on in life is that Tennessee will always be scorching hot in August Picture Quote #1

The border is longing: when both have fallen in love but still haven’t said anything. The border is to be on the way. It is the way that is the most important thing Picture Quote #1

August. We were arguing. You want love to be like this every day don’t you? 92 degrees even in the shade Picture Quote #1

August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time Picture Quote #1

It is best to be born in April or August when the life-giving Sun is in its exaltation sign Aries or Leo, its home, for then we enter the sea of life on the crest-wave and are backed in the battle of existence by an abundant fund of vim and energy Picture Quote #1
