Famous quotes containing the words world and/or season:
“The world is not black and white. More like black and grey.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
“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)
