Dr. J. R. Stockton

Dr J. R. Stockton:

English writer and psychologist.

February is merely as long as is needed to pass the time until March.

 

Meaning: A lighthearted, humorous observation about February: it feels like this month lasts only as long as it takes to get to March. It plays on the idea that February is short (28 days in regular years, 29 in leap years) and therefore functions as a kind of interlude leading up to spring. 🔎 Origin and Author: The exact phrasing does not appear to be widespread in major quote databases. Listing “Dr. J.R. Stockton” as a possible author is not a given in recognized sources. In major sources (such as Quote Investigator, Wikiquote, etc.), this particular statement is not reliably attributed to an authority of that name. In summary: Currently, no confirmed, reliable source can be found that attributes this exact phrase to Dr. J.R. Stockton or any other known author. It may simply be a modern, undattable joke circulating on the Internet or in contemporary writing.
