50 April Quotes And Sayings
I just learned something new about April. I learned that April starts on the same day of the week as July in all years, and January in leap years and that April ends on the same day of the week as December every single year. Usually associated with Spring, April is a month that mostly defiles a stereotypical definition because what is spring but a hybrid of winter and Summer in uneven proportions. Drop the veil, April is a confused month unto itself. T.S Elliot himself tagged it the cruest month and we are not about to argue with a legendary poet. But it is an interesting subject matter, we are not about to entertain one word of argument to the contrary. Philosophers, thinkers, poets, and authors past have found April interesting and the shelves of literature are full of snippets and portions about the grace, half-grace, and total lack of grace of April. Like literary legends past, we find April interesting. Maybe more than March which we have done with just 30+ quotes. Here are three scores of April quotes for you.
