Philosophical Deduction On Why Autumn and Winter Are Best

"Continuous eloquence wearies. Grandeur must be abandoned to be appreciated. Continuity in everything is unpleasant. Cold is agreeable, that we may get warm." - Blaise Pascal

"...to enjoy bodily warmth, some small part of you must be cold, for there is no quality in this world that is not what it is merely by contrast. Nothing exists in its self. If you flatter yourself that you are all over comfortable, and have been so a long time, then you cannot be said to be comfortable any more." Herman Melville  "Moby-Dick"
