So when the once-beautiful autumn foliage has bid its farewell, and when the chilly air calls for a fall coat instead of your traditional flannel—it just simply means that November has arrived!

It's a time full of change, after all, which is best described best in these November quotes!

There are plenty of quotes on this list that get the season down to a tee. This one from Rainbow Rowell happens to get it 100% right: “It was the best kind of November day.

With the last red berries and the first white snows.” Others just make us want to dive into our favorite fall treats, like this one from Sarah Addison Allen: “It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.”
