Sugaring season is the season when you tap the trees for sugar that turns into maple syrup. I've married someone from Vermont, so it's an expression I kept hearing, and I'm like, 'What is that? That's just so beautiful.' I like the idea it's the very, very first murmurings of spring.

Beth Orton

I was born in Evanston, Illinois. I spent my elementary and part of my junior high school years in a D.C. suburb. And then I spent my high school years in Minnesota. And then I spent my college years in Colorado. And then I spent some time living in China. And then I spent three years in Vermont before moving down to Nashville.

Peter Lucas and I live in Durham but spend a great of time in North Wales, where we have a cottage in the mountains, and in Vermont, USA, with my sister - who is a children's writer married to a poet.

Anne Stevenson

Time Pet Great

I'm really trying to stop setting my plays in this one fictional town in Vermont.

Annie Baker

Yin Vermont Trying

I went to the University of Vermont because I had a kind of unrequited love for this high school girlfriend. She wasn't even at the University but at another school nearby. But I thought if went to a school near her, just maybe... I was really remedial about girls in so many ways.

Love Ways Way

Whether you are a low-income elderly woman living at the end of a dirt road in Vermont or a wealthy CEO living on Park Avenue, you get your mail six days a week. And you pay for this service at a cost far less than anywhere else in the industrialized world.

Bernie Sanders

Your You World

For much of America, the all-American values depicted in Norman Rockwell's classic illustrations are idealistic. For those of us from Vermont, they're realistic. That's what we do.

Bernie Sanders

Well Vermont Values

In any democratic, civilized - even non-democratic nations, if you are a nation, it means to say that in our case, if there's a hurricane in Louisiana, the people of Vermont are there for them. If there's a tornado in the Midwest, we are there for them. If there's flooding in the East Coast, the people in California are there for us.

Bernie Sanders

You West Vermont

Vermonters often ask me whether I am pessimistic about the future of our country. My honest answer is that I am not.

Bernie Sanders

Future Whether Vermont

In Vermont, Governor Madeleine Kunin has given years of service to our state after becoming the state's first female governor in 1985. She is an inspiration to girls throughout Vermont and the country in allowing them to know that the opportunities they have are unlimited.

Bernie Sanders

Years Year Wing

In cold weather states like Vermont, where the weather can get to 20 below zero, home heating assistance is critically important. In fact, it is a life and death issue.

Bernie Sanders

Life Home Death

When I ran for the Senate the first time, I ran against the wealthiest guy in the state of Vermont. He spent a lot on advertising - very ugly stuff. He kept attacking me as a liberal. He didn't use the word 'socialist' at all because everybody in the state knows that I am that.

Bernie Sanders

Time Word Wealth

As Vermont's senator and a member of the Budget Committee, I will not support a plan to reduce the deficit that does not call for shared sacrifice.

Bernie Sanders

Will Vermont Up

Shouting down and intimidating someone from speaking their mind is not exactly a Vermont town meeting value, nor should it be an American town meeting value.

Bernie Sanders

Vermont Value Town

Sugaring season is the season when you tap the trees for sugar that turns into maple syrup. I've married someone from Vermont, so it's an expression I kept hearing, and I'm like, 'What is that? That's just so beautiful.' I like the idea it's the very, very first murmurings of spring.

Beth Orton

You Very Vermont

I went to college in Vermont, and then stayed in the East Coast.

Bret Easton Ellis

Vermont Then T

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent allied with Democrats, has championed Medicare for All, which would give every American coverage through the federal health insurance program for seniors. Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow wants Medicare coverage for anyone over the age of 55.

Brian Schatz

Health Car Age

For my band's debut tour in 2011, we road-tripped across the country in a 15-passenger van. It was the first time I'd left Alabama. I drove through scenery I'd only ever seen in calendars: auburn leaves falling in Vermont, the sun setting over purple mountains in Arizona. It was incredible.

Someone told me that when they go to Vermont, they feel like they're home. I'm that way at Saks.

Caroline Rhea

Home Funny Way

I'm very impressed by St. Patrick's. Another deity to me is definitely Saks Fifth Avenue. Someone told me that when they go to Vermont, they feel like they're home. I'm that way at Saks.

Caroline Rhea

Home Way Very

I live here in Vermont, in a village of barely a thousand people halfway up the state's third highest mountain.

Calvin Coolidge was the greatest man who ever came out of Plymouth Corner, Vermont.

Clarence Darrow

I live in Vermont, and we don't have a tax incentive there, and therefore, we don't have professional crew there.

Colin Trevorrow

Where I live, in Vermont, there's this thing that women know about men, which is this disease: their childhood was so idyllic that nothing in the rest of their life can ever be satisfying. It's almost a plague.

Colin Trevorrow

I don't have a PR rep. I live in Vermont.

Colin Trevorrow

The wedding took place in Vermont, where they have legalized gay civil unions, and I married a woman.

Craig Ferguson

When I was in high school I moved from the big city to a tiny village of 500 people in Vermont. It was like The Waltons!

Daphne Zuniga

Robert Frost had a house in Bennington, Vermont, and I had a friend, the poet Mary Ruefle, who was the caretaker of it when it was owned by Norman Lear, the TV producer. She got a grant to go to Scotland, and she had to be gone six or nine months, so I moved in, and my job was just to make sure the ravage didn't overtake the place.

Doug Stanton

When Bernie Sanders was announcing that he was going to be a candidate for the nomination of the Democratic Party in Burlington, Vermont, I was the only cable host between FOX, MSNBC, and CNN that was there to cover it live.

Ed Schultz

Black bears, though, are not fearsome. I encountered one on the road to my house in Vermont, alone at night. I picked up two stones just in case, but I wasn't afraid of him. I felt a hunter's exhilaration and a brotherly feeling.

Edward Hoagland

I've been a skier since I was 2 or 3, skiing with my dad in northern New York and Vermont.

Elise Stefanik

The first few years I was in Vermont quite a bit, but I don't think I ever spent years and years there.

Ethan Suplee

My parents are both from Vermont, very old-fashioned New England. We heated our house with wood my father chopped. My mom grew all of our food. We were very underexposed to everything.

Geena Davis

The rainy season in Vermont is not long, but it definitely gets gloomy.

Grace Potter

For all the flack that we get for becoming successful, you get people who really respect how firmly planted our feet have been in Vermont.

Grace Potter

I'm from Vermont, where to be stylish and cool is to have a dirty pair of hiking boots and know how to change a tire, hang drywall, and bale hay. Those people are my home, and every time I come home, it reminds me that there's something to be said for being in the spotlight, but it can never be a whole part of me.

Grace Potter

When we were recording 'This is Somewhere,' we were still super green, super from Vermont, super not knowing what to do.

Grace Potter

I had a crazy life for a teenager. I lived in New Jersey, but I'd go to Vermont for three weeks, join a commune, take pictures with the guy I was dating, come back home, and post photos.

Halsey

I'm moving into a yurt in the woods near my parents' home in Vermont.

Hannah Teter

I grew up in Vermont, so we didn't really have a TV, growing up, or a football team.

Hannah Teter

I've made a commitment that state spending in Vermont won't grow any more than the rate of inflation plus population growth.

James Douglas

I am often reminded that the wellspring of Vermont liberty flows from Main Street, not State Street.

James H. Douglas, Jr.

When I ruptured my spleen, I was about to win the overall Series for the World Tour, and I was at the last event in Vermont for the U.S. Open and was having a great day. Then I just got a little too excited and just face-planted, and I knew something was wrong. I really couldn't breathe, and my whole body was in so much pain.

Jamie Anderson

Visiting Ireland reminded me of when I first arrived in Vermont. I thought, This is home.

Jane O'Meara Sanders

For me, the focus has to be on the individual, the worker, not on profit margins, not on stock returns, but on how do we have a wonderful community in the State of Vermont that has good jobs that keep our kids here and keeps our communities healthy.

Jane O'Meara Sanders

I graduated with a B.A. from Goddard College in 1991 and then studied poetry for a year in the M.F.A. in Writing Program at Vermont College.

Jennifer McMahon

One out of every 100 families in Vermont was a part owner of Ben and Jerry's.

Jerry Greenfield

Vermont's a very liberal state.

Jesse Watters

I've had times where I've joked, like, 'I'm going to move to Vermont and become a painter.' And sometimes that joke felt like, 'Oh that's a good idea.' But it was only, like, a daydream for a moment to, like, escape.

Kate Micucci

I'm fully conscious of the fact that I wouldn't be the writer that I am without this place, without Vermont College.

Kathi Appelt

Growing up in Vermont, no matter what I did, I didn't get much recognition.
