Thoughts on a Pumpkin


It may not be surprising that some pretty cool metaphors and similes were made using the pumpkin, so for day 15 we shall revel in the glory of pumpkin quotations.

Anyone could see that the wind was a special wind this night, and the darkness took on a special feel because it was All Hallows' Eve. Everything seemed cut from soft black velvet or gold or orange velvet. Smoke panted up out of a thousand chimneys like the plumes of funeral parades. From kitchen windows drifted two pumpkin smells: gourds being cut, pies being baked. - Ray Bradbury, The Halloween Tree

I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion. - Henry David Thoreau

Linus: There are three things I have learned never to discuss with people: religion, politics and the Great Pumpkin.

Only the knife knows what goes on in the heart of a pumpkin. - Simone Schwarz-Bart
