Quotes About Mellowness

I like spring, but it is too young. I like summer, but it is too proud. So I like best of all autumn, because its leaves are a little yellow, its tone mellower, its colours richer, and it is tinged a little with sorrow and a premonition of death. Its golden richness speaks not of the innocence of spring, nor of the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and is content.

One mellows almost without realizing it's a compensation of age, because anger is exhausting.

Not an elegant wine or a mellow brandy but harsh spirits.

Time sheds a softness on remote objects or events, as local distance imparts to the landscape a smoothness and mellowness which disappear on a nearer approach.

But the fruit that can fall without shaking indeed is too mellow for me.
