With this collection of aphorisms and phrases about summer we take a nice dip in the most loved season of the year. Days of sun and sea. Summer is that period that we look forward to all year round. We spend months fantasizing about the joys of summer. On holidays by the sea or in the mountains, cocktails on the beach, the scent of sunscreen.
Like all beautiful things, however, summer flies. Three months that pass in an instant, and which for this reason must be lived to the full. We must seize every moment of joy spent with the people we love.
Summer is the season most loved by most people. Summer means holidays, sun, heat, nights in the open air and new loves. It is not surprising, therefore, that this time of year has inspired many great authors who have written some of their finest quotes on the subject. Some have described the happiness that distinguishes summer, others the melancholy of its end or the light-heartedness of evenings spent with friends or lovers.
