For the Fall of the year is more than three months bounded by an equinox and a solstice. It is a summing up without the finality of year’s end (Hal Borland Quotes)
No Winter lasts forever, no Spring skips its turn. April is a promise that May is bound to keep, and we know it (Hal Borland Quotes)
A root, a stem, a leaf, some means of capturing sunlight and air and making food - in sum, a plant. The green substance of this earth, the chlorophyll, is all summed up in the plants. Without them we perish, all of us who are flesh and blood (Hal Borland Quotes)
Two sounds of autumn are unmistakable...the hurrying rustle of crisp leaves blown along the street...by a gusty wind, and the gabble of a flock of migrating geese. (Hal Borland Quotes)
Man is wise and constantly in quest of more wisdom; but the ultimate wisdom, which deals with beginnings, remains locked in a seed. There it lies, the simplest fact of the universe and at the same time the one which calls forth faith rather than reason. (Hal Borland Quotes)
Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. (Hal Borland Quotes)
Listen to it, and you are hearing the mighty currents of the air rushing down the latitudes of the earth, currents from the Mackenzie and the Athabasca and the Saskatchewan, and from the prairies and the white Tundra. It is a homeless wind, forever on the move (Hal Borland Quotes)
He who travels west travels not only with the sun but with history (Hal Borland Quotes)
Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence (Hal Borland Quotes)
If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees (Hal Borland Quotes)

October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen (Hal Borland Quotes)
Time after time... today’s crisis shrinks to next week’s footnote to a newly headline disaster (Hal Borland Quotes)
Nature seems to look after her own only up to a certain point; beyond that they are supposed to fend for themselves (Hal Borland Quotes)
As I stood and watched the mists slowly rising this morning I wondered what view was more beautiful than this (Hal Borland Quotes)
The earth’s distances invite the eye. And as the eye reaches, so must the mind stretch to meet these new horizons. I challenge anyone to stand with autumn on a hilltop and fail to see a new expanse not only around him, but in him, too (Hal Borland Quotes)
Time has its own dimensions, and neither the sun nor the clock can encompass them all (Hal Borland Quotes)
If you ever wondered why fishing is probably the most popular sport in this country, watch that boy beside on the water and you will learn. If you are really perceptive you will. For he already knows that fishing is only one part fish (Hal Borland Quotes)

For all his learning or sophistication, man still instinctively reaches towards that force beyond. Only arrogance can deny its existence, and the denial falters in the face of evidence on every hand. In every tuft of grass, in every bird, in every opening bud, there it is (Hal Borland Quotes)
You can't be suspicious of a tree, or accuse a bird or a squirrel of subversion or challenge the ideology of a violet (Hal Borland Quotes)
A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire, in magnitude at least, but a single tree is like a dancing tongue of flame to warm the heart (Hal Borland Quotes)
