Famous quotes containing the words regular and/or season:
“[I]n our country economy, letter writing is an hors d’oeuvre. It is no part of the regular routine of the day.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Methoughts a legion of foul fiends
Environed me, and howled in mine ears
Such hideous cries that with the very noise
I trembling waked, and for a season after
Could not believe but that I was in hell,
Such terrible impression made my dream.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
