Famous quotes containing the words season, tickets and/or range:
“The season developed and matured. Another years installment of flowers, leaves, nightingales, thrushes, finches, and such ephemeral creatures, took up their positions where only a year ago others had stood in their place when these were nothing more than germs and inorganic particles. Rays from the sunrise drew forth the buds and stretched them into long stalks, lifted up sap in noiseless streams, opened petals, and sucked out scents in invisible jets and breathings.”
—Thomas Hardy (18401928)
“Sickness comes to us all, Mr. Dillon.... We never know when, we never know why, we never know how. The only blessed thing we know is itll come at the most inconvenient, unexpected time. Just when youve got tickets to the World Series. And thats the way the permanent waves.”
—Donald E. Westlake (b. 1933)
“For generations, a wide range of shooting in Northern Ireland has provided all sections of the population with a pastime which ... has occupied a great deal of leisure time.

—Northern Irish Tourist Board. quoted in New Statesman (London, Aug. 29, 1969)
