august – Girl Who Would be KING on Life, Style and INSPIRATION.

“Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.”—Jenny Han, The Summer I Turned Pretty

“August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time.” ―Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“When summer opens, I see how fast it matures, and fear it will be short; but after the heats of July and August, I am reconciled, like one who has had his swing, to the cool of autumn.”— Ralph Waldo Emerson (American essayist and scholar).
