The library in summer is the most wonderful thing because there you get books on any subject and read them each for only as long as they hold your interest, abandoning any that don't, halfway or a quarter of the way through if you like, and store up all that knowledge in the happy corners of your mind for your own self and not to show off how much you know or spit it back at your teacher on a test paper. ↗

Digital Chocolate has 60% of its developers in Finland where the sun never sets in the summer and there is nothing to do outside in the winter, so we are very productive! ↗

We only work four days a week, we only work three weeks out of the month, and we get four months off for the summer. So there's plenty of time for me to spend with the kids. ↗

When I was four, we moved to the house on the west side of Chicago where I grew up. My earliest memories are of that first summer. ↗

God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, surfeit and hunger. ↗

Long stormy spring-time, wet contentious April, winter chilling the lap of very May; but at length the season of summer does come. ↗
