Famous quotes containing the words tigers and/or season:

    The ocean is a wilderness reaching round the globe, wilder than a Bengal jungle, and fuller of monsters, washing the very wharves of our cities and the gardens of our sea-side residences. Serpents, bears, hyenas, tigers rapidly vanish as civilization advances, but the most populous and civilized city cannot scare a shark far from its wharves.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime,
    Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
    John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
