Short and beautiful quotes about rain are intended both for those who do not like this natural phenomenon, and for those who associate any precipitation with something pleasant. After all, there are people who truly love both showers and light drizzles. Is it hard to believe that you can even slightly admire such rainy weather? Of course, not everyone can find joy in the water falling from the sky, which makes people shiver and raise their collars, open their umbrellas and, as a result, still dry their wet clothes and shoes. Rainy weather drives many people into a state of melancholy and depression, invoking autumn melancholy, and some individuals manage to immediately catch a cold. That's why many people have such an unpleasant opinion about rain. But you can, while slowly sipping aromatic coffee or tea and looking at the fast persistent droplets that knock on the asphalt, feel deep peace and admire this miracle of nature. We hope that you too will be able to see the beauty in the rain and, of course, in quotes about it.
