Famous quotes containing the words opening and/or times:

    “The current of our thoughts made as sudden bends as the river, which was continually opening new prospects to the east or south, but we are aware that rivers flow most rapidly and shallowest at these points.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The Ultimate Day really begins the night before, when you sit up until one o’clock trying to get things into trunk and bags. This is when you discover the well-known fact that summer air swells articles to twice or three times their original size.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
