Famous quotes containing the word seasons:
“There is no single face in nature, because every eye that looks upon it, sees it from its own angle. So every mans spice-box seasons his own food.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“And so the seasons went rolling on into summer, as one rambles into higher and higher grass.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Let there be seasons so that our tongues will be rich in asparagus and limes.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
