Halloween is a day dedicated to some seriously fun traditions — costumes galore, candy overload, decorations everywhere... you get the idea. And while Halloween quotes don't usually make that list, I think they should. Why? Because nothing can get you quite into the spirit of Halloween like some memorable words can, and these quotes are just that. You can learn a lot from the few words that somebody chooses to say regarding Oct. 31.

Different people associate Halloween with different memories, which really is a marvelous thing. There can be so much diversity in how we choose to celebrate and remember the holiday that started so long ago, and learning about somebody else's experience with Oct. 31 can be both perspective-changing and unifying. Funny how that works, right?

From Judy Gold to John Burnside, check out what these famous (and not so famous!) faces have to say about the beloved spooky holiday of Halloween. You might relate to some of it, and you might be on a totally different page, but no matter what, you will be sharing in somebody else's thoughts, feelings, and words. Didn't think Halloween could be so sentimental? Read over these thoughtful quotes and then think again.
