Summer Quotes

On a very personal level, I have fond memories of spending a lot of time in the Library of Congress working on my collection of poems ‘Native Guard.’ I was there over a summer doing research in the archives and then writing in the reading room at the Jefferson building Picture Quote #1

We had idyllic summer holidays, building sandcastles with my father on the beach at Bridlington. It might sound strange, but I think that secure cocoon of familial love was so nourishing, it gave me the strength to live life on my own Picture Quote #1

In winter I get up at night And dress by yellow candle-light. In summer quite the other way I have to go to bed by day Picture Quote #1

I think day care is terrific. Kids get to be around other kids, and they’re playing, and they’re teaching each other. When I was in college, my summer job was being a preschool teacher.

Small and brave she stands alone summer memories echo through her willowy limbsand ripple like laughter along flanks now braced against an icy wind that sweeps down from the mountain and races across the pasture to whereshe tosses her head and waits for spring grass, the promise of a child’s hand on her withers,and dusty fingers woven through her mane Picture Quote #1

Honestly, my entire childhood could be summed up with one word: Reader. I was always hunched over a book; in fact, I was the only kid in the world who got paler in the summer, because I’d sneak down into our cool, dank cellar and sit alone with a book for hours Picture Quote #1

The tear, down childhood’s cheek that flows, Is like the dewdrop on the rose; When next the summer breeze comes by And waves the bush, the flower is dry Picture Quote #1

Now that it’s officially summer, here’s my advice to parents who want to continue teaching their kids during the next two months and learn something themselves: visit Civil War battlefields Picture Quote #1

When I was 16, I had a job on the cleaning crew at a local hospital. I wore a pink uniform and cleaned bathrooms and buffed the hallway linoleum. Oddly, I don’t recall hating the job.

When people send people on summer camps or bonding trips, they send them to do things like high rope climbing or extraordinary things. And when you do extraordinary things with people, like fighting battles or simulating huge wars, you do bond very quickly Picture Quote #1

My best friend and I went to sleep-away camp every summer. We’d share stories of making out with boys, but we never did, so we made it all up. My real first kiss was at a friend’s house when I was in junior high. He was such a good kisser, and we’re still close friends! Picture Quote #1

I hate summer, to be honest. I hate dressing. I hate the heat. I hate sweaty people getting aggressively close to you when you’re walking down the street Picture Quote #1

Luckily, I discovered ice skating when I was eight and a half years old. There were two wonderful ponds within walking distance of my house.

Genesis 8:22While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease Picture Quote #1

I like to say I’ve had only two jobs in my life: whitewater canoeing instructor and wilderness guide in college, and C.E.O. of iRobot Picture Quote #1

I was an exchange student for a summer, and most of that summer was in Ukraine. I used to say ‘the Ukraine’ until I was there, and one of the Ukrainian college students I got to be good friends with, he said, ‘Do you say I’m going back to the Texas,’ and I said, ‘No.’ He said, ‘We don’t say we’re going back to the Ukraine, either.’ Picture Quote #1

Obviously, it has taken time to work with the players around me and with so many new faces coming in the summer, in a way it’s been more difficult Picture Quote #1
